Dear fellow brewers,

It is with a heavy heart that we announce the closure of BrewChatter after 10 wonderful years of serving our fellow brewers and community. Due to various unforeseen circumstances, we have made the difficult decision to shut down operations ending March 31st.

We want to express our deepest gratitude for your support, loyalty, and friendship throughout the years. We would not have been able to achieve such success without you, and we are truly grateful for the opportunities you have given us.

During the next couple weeks, we will be wrapping up any outstanding projects, having a massive liquidation sale and fulfilling any pending orders. We will do everything we can to minimize any inconvenience caused. Thank you again for your understanding and support during this difficult time.

Sincerely, Josh & RJ

Description

Australian Galaxy T90 Hop Pellets, 1 Pound sealed bulk package

Breeding for Galaxy began in 1994 by Hop Products of Australia, and after mixing an Australian female, known as J78, and a male derived from German Perle, Galaxy was released in 2009, and has been highly sought after ever since.  This variety quickly found traction with brewers worldwide, and is known to have one of the highest concentrations of essential oils of any hop variety.  

Usage

While Galaxy is definitely capable of bittering additions, it's not generally used that way due to how hard it is to get, and the bright and amazing flavor and aroma profile due to it's concentrated hop oil composition.  Galaxy is ideal for any hoppy beer, as well as any lighter beer style that you want to add a concentrated, fruity character to.  Although it's ok as a single hop variety, Galaxy shines with Simcoe, Idaho 7 or Mosaic to help bring out the brighter flavors.

Aroma and Flavor

Expect strong flavor and aroma from Galaxy, with bright passionfruit and clean citrus and peach characteristics.  It is also known for undertones of pineapple and tropical fruit with no pine, wood or spice as a counter-balance.  Imagine a more concentrated, brighter and cleaner Citra, and you've imagined Galaxy.

Not a new love of mine, but rather a consistent one!  If you’ve ever tried our Andromeda NEIIPA, Galaxy was the driving hop behind the whole thing.  It’s SUPER bright, even in bittering additions, and won’t leave you with the potentially catty characteristics that you can find with Citra.  Trust me, throw it in with some Azacca and Simcoe, don’t be afraid to go a little overboard, and you will not be disappointed with this hop!
