Galaxy leaf hops anywhere?

Post by SBMongoose » Thu Aug 18, 2016 6:52 am

Morning guys,

Anyone have any idea when or if new harvests of Galaxy leaf hops might become available. I don't seem to have been able to source any for ages.

Pellet hops seem readily available eg BrewUK.

If you BIAB use the bag for the hops during the boil, or any other nylon bag. I use pellet hops all the time without issue in a hop spider using a BIAB style bag.

2nd hit after Googling " Galaxy leaf hops".

Apologies, they're pellets! :oops:

ok, no worries guys, thanks for looking though. Does anyone know when in previous years they've become available? Looks like I might have to use/build a hop spider for pellets.

I have used pellets without a hop spider loads of times with no problems.

I do have a filter on my boiler though.

I have a filter on my boiler but it blocks. Depends on the filter and often the diameter of the boiler

I ended getting Galaxy leaf direct from Australia. Expensive (£35 for 500grams) but pricey enough in the UK anyway and wanted some for NEIPA projects.
