Galaxy T90 Hop Pellets

Description

Galaxy T90 Hop Pellets are a highly aromatic Australian hop known for their bold passionfruit and citrus character, complemented by notes of peach and other tropical fruit.

Developed in Australia, Galaxy has become a popular choice for hop-forward beer styles. Its intense fruit character works particularly well when brewers want a distinctive aroma and flavour profile.

Aroma & Flavour

Galaxy can contribute:

• Passionfruit
• Citrus
• Peach
• Tropical fruit
• Light floral notes

Its strong fruit character makes Galaxy particularly useful for beers where hop aroma and flavour take centre stage.

Brewing with Galaxy Hops

Galaxy works well as a dual-purpose hop. However, late-boil, whirlpool and dry-hop additions can help showcase its distinctive passionfruit, citrus and peach character.

You can use Galaxy on its own for a bold Australian hop profile. Alternatively, combine it with other fruit-forward hops to create more complex aroma and flavour combinations.

Suitable Beer Styles

Galaxy is well suited to:

• Pale Ale
• India Pale Ale (IPA)
• Double IPA
• Hazy IPA
• Australian Pale Ale
• American Pale Ale
• Wheat Beer
• Saison

Hop Substitutes

If Galaxy is unavailable, possible substitutes include Citra and Mosaic. These hops can provide some of the tropical fruit and citrus character associated with Galaxy.

However, Galaxy’s distinctive passionfruit character can be difficult to reproduce exactly. In addition, each substitute has its own flavour profile and alpha acid level. Therefore, adjust your recipe and hop quantities as required when making a substitution.
