Hi all
I am thinking about my 3rd go at BIAB; and was thinking about doing a late hopped citra / galaxy combo IPA, the recipe idea was kindly suggested by @matt76 , his hop bursted "Podium Ipa". My original recipe idea is here:
https://www.brewersfriend.com/homebrew/recipe/view/821088/galactic-citra-ipa
I was intending to use Galaxy along with Citra as the hop combo as a) I love citra and b) I had some Galaxy hops still foil packed. However, I now think as the Galaxy were bought in 2017 and have not been cold stored; they may have lost some or all of their punch and I probably should swop them for something else to avoid disappointment. Suggested galaxy substitutes I have seen are Simcoe, Amarillo, or Centennial. I'm a big fan of tropical / fruit bomb IPA's so was also thinking maybe Cascade might also work- I have only had Amarillo in an extract SMaSH which was okay; and only had Simcoe in commercial brews, so unsure where to go with this.
Any advice on suitable hop to go along with the Citra would be welcome; and if the quantities I am planning would need a re-think or if I could just do straight swops.
Thanks all!
