Notes

Single Malt and Single Hop. The cleanest way to learn a hop's voice — pile Mosaic into 2-row from boil through dry hop and let it speak. Berry, mango, and pine across the schedule. Repeat with Citra, El Dorado, or Galaxy as a hops library exercise.

Brewer: SMaSH builds your palate. Pour two beers side by side with the same recipe and a different hop to learn faster.

Packaging: Carbonate to 2.4 vols.
