All cascade pale ale. Galaxy dry hop?

[Justin Archer]

Thinking about tossing 1oz of galaxy into my pale ale. Any tips as to how long I should leave them? Or whether or not this is a good idea?

I’m thinking 4 or 5 days before I bottle. I’ve read that they work well together. I’ve also read that galaxy can impart a bit of a grassy flavor if left too long.

Cheers! [emoji481]

Four or five days using a medium-high alpha acid hop should be ok. Two weeks might be a bit much. I like stronger aroma hops myself, but that depends on the style.

Thanks man. This is my first experience with dry hopping. I’m worried I’m gonna ruin my beer. Lol

I always dry hop for about a week, unless it's in the keg, then I just leave them there. Galaxy will work. No need to worry, it's really simple.
