From Hop combos
- Idaho 7 and galaxy play well together, especially with mosaic
- Too much Idaho 7 can be have a harsh bitterness
- W.pool do a 3:1 ratio citra to Idaho
- Citra and mosaic amplify each other and then when you add a touch of galaxy or Idaho it just gets boosted
From Hops
- Breakside - Galaxy needs a very short contact time (48 hours or left)
- “We’ve been using a lot more Huell Melon and Hallertau Blanc in IPAs, and the Huell Melon/Galaxy combo has worked really well for us. It tends to bring out more of the melon notes already there in Galaxy, and we get more pineapple and honeydew melon. Similarly, Hallertau Blanc and Motueka work well together to complement bright hops, and we use it with Citra, Mosaic, and Galaxy as well.
- Our Remote Island IPA is Galaxy, Hallertau Blanc, and Motueka, with Galaxy being 50 percent and the other two the remaining 50 percent. They work really well to provide a lot more depth and bring out more of the bright pineapple and a hint of lemongrass that I always enjoy. It adds a bit of complexity to the hops bill, so it’s not just one big fruit note.
- One combo they tried that they really liked recently is Amarillo, Strata, and Galaxy.
- Galaxy Usage
- For Galaxy, they use about 15–20%.
- None on the hot side, all in the dry hop.
