Heya, brewers.
Looking to make a nice, easy drinking, fairly light American Pale Ale for the warm summer months. Not overly bitter, but with a good hop nose / aroma.
I have plenty of Galena and Mt. Hood hops on hand, so..I would like to use them if possible. Any experience with this combo for a pale ale? Or with Galena as a late addition aroma / flavor hop? Also, no problem to buy an ounce or two of other hops when I pick up the grains at the homebrew shop, if necessary.
Looking for hop advise and recipe advise.
Here's the recipe as of now for comments, suggestions:
