Ok so I have lots of AU Cascade and Galaxy flowers in the freezer - thanks yob. Having never used Cascade in a brew myself I was wondering what people would suggest..

Any recipes that anyone can point me to?

All grain is what I'm looking at..
 
Just used some Galaxy flowers (again, thanks Yob), in a sort of Stone & Wood Pacific Ale clone, but fermented with a Saison yeast.

50/50 wheat and pilsner, Belle Saison Yeast and 35 IBU.

Nom nom.
 
I love brewing a midstrength pale with galaxy and cascade (especially in summer, and mates can come over, have a few, then drive home).

1040-42
30 IBU (galaxy and cascade equally, half at 60, half under 15 mins)

80% pils or pale ale
15% vienna or munich
5% light, medium or dark xtal

Real crowd pleaser, never met anyone who didn't like it.

Sounds intersting..
Might try something along those lines..
 
I would also do APA or IPA as above.
For a subtle fruity twist, try also S-04 yeast (british) instead of american US-05 at 18degC.

Cascade is like blue jeans - It goes with everything.
Cant really imagine cascade in a belgian tripple or a kolsch or a dunkelweizen.

That sounds pretty good, something like this do you think?

Single most shittest yeast ever.. (IMO) I'd never put those hops with that yeast.. Matter of fact, I wouldn't put anything with that yeast... A pox on S04.. Not saying OP shouldn't just I never would.

Well unless I wanted it to take forever and stop high, bloody lazy yeast...
 
This was what I decided on.
