Afternoon all.
Just finished a morning of brewing, started a couple, kegged a couple, drank a couple..
This morning I was doing an extract S&W Pacific, as its been my go to recipe since starting, and never had a bad one, so I stick with it. Its Earle's recipe found here in the forums.
Today was a bit different, since I ran out of galaxy.
Last brew I used 10g galaxy at 20min, 15g hallertau at 10min, and 20g of galaxy + 5g vic secret at flameout.
Turned out awesome, but that ones empty.
The brew before that i used the same amounts, all galaxy. Was nice.
The brew before that was all Vic secret. Not bad, but I don't remember it being great, I think for aroma additions galaxy is better.
This morning, I used 7g galaxy + 7g Vic secret at 20min, 20g hallertau at 10, and 25g of Amarillo at flame out. Smelt good, tasted about right, a bit more bitter than usual but I like bitter so that's what I was aiming for.
Its got me thinking, what's everyone else using as their go to hop combinations for light, easy drinking ales?
