Brewing peoples,
Have just put in an order for a couple hundred of Galaxy. Never used it, but i have read up on it and have a decent idea of what it adds to a beer.
Tried a beer the other day that a mate brewed using Citra, and loved it. Thought i'd try a similar direction chasing the fruity smack in the chops.
I used to love brewing hoppy ales, but started trying to reign them in and try to get them a little more palatable for my mates, and get a bit more "commercial" feel into them, as opposed to the craft brewing hoppiness that i love.
I want to get back into hoppy ales, and i want to really taste the Galaxy hop. I want to be able to smell it too, without having to really dip my nose into it.
Sure you get the point. Would love some comments as i'm new to this hop. Typically brew (a shitload) with Nelson Sauvin, and Motueka.
Righto, here it is:
