Went to the LHBS t'other day and instead of picking up the hops for the tried and tested Citra/Simcoe APA had a moment of recklessness and plumped for Galaxy and am planning a simple pale ale utilising these.
Now... do I use these for bittering, or leave the the full 100g for late additions/dry hop and get the full benefit of the fruit flavours? If I were to use another hop for bittering, which would be a good partner? Do 60 minute additions add much in the way of flavour or just simply bitterness? Also, as a single hop does galaxy offer enough or does it need a friend to make it really shine?
Oh so many questions....
