🔬 Brewing Characteristics

• Origin: Australia

• Hop Type: Dual Purpose (Aroma dominant)

• Alpha Acids: Typically 11–16% (crop dependent)

• Use: Late boil, whirlpool & dry hop

• Substitutions: Citra (less passionfruit), Nectaron (more pineapple), Mosaic (more berry complexity)

Galaxy can provide firm, clean bitterness early in the boil, but its signature passionfruit character truly explodes when used late or post-boil.

💡 Brewing Tips from The Hopping Mechanism

• Add at flameout or whirlpool (75–80°C) to preserve tropical oils.

• Dry hop at 6–12g/L depending on desired intensity.

• Avoid excessive boil time to prevent loss of passionfruit aroma.

• Pair with clean American ale yeast for maximum hop expression.

Galaxy is bold, unmistakable and instantly recognisable in the glass. Its passionfruit-forward character defines modern Australian craft beer and remains a favourite for brewers chasing high-impact tropical aroma.

For big, juicy hop character — Galaxy delivers every time.
