Oh, it's going to be a 5 gallon batch, but I'm going to boil 4, then top up as needed. I'm using Hopville for calculations. It looks like the AA on these Galaxy are 15.2%, so I'll have to lower my hop additions a little bit. I'm hoping to hear back from a brewery about how many IBUs their...

You guys rock, thanks! I have a lot of different hops I'm itching to use, and Summit is near the top of my list. Almost all of the hops I've bought so far are citrusy, though, and I don't have Willamette or Chinook. BBB - "more grainy" is exactly what I was looking for. I think that's one of...

Thanks for the response; great points. I'll definitely be doing partial mashes with the 2-row, vienna, wheat, flaked oats, etc... Anyone have any recommendations for which combination of ingredients (I have on hand) to use for my next pale ale recipes and/or answers to my other questions?

I brewed my first 5 beers (all IPA's and very hoppy pales) mostly using a steep of grains (typically a combination of three of the following: 2-row, pilsner, carapils, and crystal 10) and 6.6 lbs. of extra light LME. For my 6th batch, I did a partial mash with a lb. each of pilsner, carapils...

Thanks for the input so far, guys. Magnum and Falconer's Flight are on my radar, for sure. I've heard mixed reviews on Motueka. Does it belong in a super hoppy pale ale? I'm considering a blend of Simcoe and Centennial, and wondering how to best use Amarillo and Motueka, especially. I plan...

So, I'm eager to brew my 5th beer (extract, 5 gallon batch), and I'd really appreciate some input regarding the hopping schedule. I don't need it to be really bitter, but I do want a ridiculous juicy, exotic? flavor and aroma. I'm planning on using 1 lb. each of: pilsner, carapils, and...

Both of those sound amazing! I'm brewing this right now, and used an ounce of galaxy as a mash hop (I realized this may be a bit of a waste), and an ounce of summit at 60 min. for bittering. I used the rest of my Columbus to dry-hop my amber ale, so I decided to try 1 oz. Mosaic at 15 min...

Awesome, thanks for the responses! I'll have to get my nose into all of these, and see what I think. Edit: ok, decided to use 2 oz. of columbus for 7 days. So, it'll be an all-columbus hopped beer, which I'm okay with. I'm brewing an IPA right now, where I'm mixing hop varieties.

So far, it's been all Columbus, .5 oz. at 60, 1 oz. at 15, .5 oz. at 5, and 1 oz. at flameout. I was planning on using my last 2 oz. of Columbus to dry hop, but may end up saving it to use as a bittering hop in my galaxy IPA. Out of Cascade, Bravo, Summit, Citra, Galaxy, and Mosaic (and...

What are some suggestions of other hops to use, along with Galaxy and/or Mosaic hops? I'll be brewing my 2nd beer, an IPA just over 6%. For Galaxy, I've heard they're best in a mix with other hops. The three beers I've tried that I know contain Galaxy hops, an IPA, a 4.8% pale ale, and a...
