Brewer's Notes

The 50 Grams of hops are divided into 10 lots of 5 grams, added at 60, 50, 40, 30, 25, 20, 15, 10, 5, 0. 20 grams of hops was added into the secondary. I used Danny's Fav 50 to ferment this one, but us-05 or 1272 would both be fine. Mash was 65 for 60 min.

Beersmith calculated this to about 1.050 OG and roughly 50 IBU, FG was 1.012 which makes it 5% ABV.

This beer is totally biased towards the hops. If you are not a hophead, stay well away from this beer. The aroma smells like you have cracked open a fresh passionfruit. Flavour is a punch in the face of hops, but the bitterness is not out of whack.

sorry mate, been and gone. All my kegs blew at the brew day last wednesday.

I am thinking of brewing this one to bring to the case swap...maybe even consider running it through a randall as well...

This will definately be brewed again! All my mates that tried it loved it. One guy was talking about it for a few days, so I was quite impressed.

Cheers
Phil

I got home too late from work to come down and see you at your brew day.
I was hoping this was the beer you brewed on the day, it would be a good one for the swap though.

Brewed this for a friends 50th birthday.
Went down really well, with some rave reviews.
Only downer was that I only got the pre-party keg testing taster due to my daughter being ill.

No group, but i can help. Simply take all your remaining galaxy and any beer that contains it and send it to me. i will of course dispose of it correctly :chug:
