1.00 oz Galaxy [12.40 %] - Boil 10.0 min Hop 6 14.1 IBUs
1.50 oz Galaxy [12.40 %] - Boil 5.0 min Hop 7 11.7 IBUs

According to beersmith its at 52ibus.
I am open to any and all suggestions. On one hand I wanted to keep all galaxy but then started wondering if I should blend something with it. I have plenty of: nelson sauvin, amarillo, simcoe, cascade,citra, centennial, columbus.
I would love to hear some feedback on this one. Who has experience with galaxy? What can I expect? Is it overkill with just this one hop variety? I also was thinking about bittering with something other than centennial, thats just what I have on hand.
CHeers and Thanks!!!
