also, I'm open to experiences people have had with hop combos.  I've never mixed galaxy with anything.  I've only used it in the single hop bitter galaxy recipe.

Looks good; brew it!

I thought the little bit of Chinook would be a nice addition to add just a touch of pine/dank to the fruity hops.

 

there is also a chance I may not have C15 and will use caravienne (20L) in it's place.  I need to dig into my grain buckets and see WASSUP!

I like it. Chinook will play along very nicely there.

Love what Chinook brings.  One of those hops that I pushed away for a long time till I saw the light.

Yep. I had an all Chinook (except for bittering) pale ale at Surly a while back that was terrific and lacked nothing IMO.

that sounds pretty intense.  how would you describe the beer?

[neddles]

Delicious. Classic citrus and pine with subdued fruit. Tasted to me like something I would make with all whirlpool and dry hops.

I should maybe try this some time.  I have to admit I'm a little scared it would be too much.

I might try it too. If you don't like the harsh quality that Chinook can bring then IME you just don't boil it. All whirlpool and dry.

huh.  I could see that being true but never really considered it.

Maybe someone else's experience differs but that is what I have noticed.

i'm going to add 1/2 oz of citra to the WP I think.  trying to not overwhelm the galaxy.

grains all measured out for a brew sometime this week.

Chinook got a rep as a bittering hop for IPAs in the west coast style, but has always been the grapefruit bomb when used at the end of boil/ whirlpool.

I really like Chinook, late. Great citrus flavor. I haven't used it in a long time, so I should remedy that.
