Galaxy 2017?

[Pallyjim]

Does anyone have the down low on when Galaxy 2017 is coming out?
I'm so keen to brew with this beauty again

I believe Brewman has this years crop too.

Edit- National Home Brew also have them.

HPA 2017 crop report indicates this year's Galaxy crop fell quite a way short of expectations. Other growers in Tas & Vic would likely have similar harvest shortfalls...plus Stone and Wood gets first dibs....

2017 is the last crop of Summer, Willamette and Helga too, as HPA is pulling these to make more space for Galaxy (& Enigma)!

Galaxy 2017 is here, and at this stage no signs of shortages.

And what a damn waste that is

Does this mean they will give us access to the rhizomes? Don't mean to ***** but summer is one of my favourites.

Totally agree.

send them a PM or phone them and ask about rhizomes

 

[technobabble66]

And post the reply.
I'd be curious to see what they say.
And what they did with all the POR rhizomes.

I have a crapload of PoR zomes if you're not in WA.

Maybe I should finally try some galaxy in a beer. Any recommendations for usage? I am thinking cube hopping a bunch of them with vic secret or ella.

Pacific Ale style beer is a pretty good way to try out galaxy

60%/40% Ale Malt/Wheat Malt
35IBU of hops as a cube addition (i did 40g for a 20L batch)
dry hop with 2-3g/L

One of my regular ales is cube & dry hopped with all 3, delicious

Nice sounds like they play together well then.

Thanks yeah I think something like that will be the go! Do you find the hop flavour sticks around with cube hopping? I have heard that but I am not entirely sure myself with my limited amount of cube hopping.

was definitely no issue with hop flavour when I did that recipe.
Side by side with a store bought S&W Pacific Ale and I would pick the home made version every time
