Citra and Galaxy?

[Naich]

I've been brewless for almost 6 months now, but I aim to get back into it again this Sunday with this brew:

Cambourne 1 by Naich -- naich.net/~bf/recipe.php#198
====================
Dry hop with the rest of the Galaxy

Volume: 23L, Efficiency: 85%
Alcohol (ABV): 6%, Original Gravity: 1.055, Final Gravity: 1.008
Bitterness (IBU): 76, Colour (EBC): 4

Recipe
======
Malt/Fermentables:
1. Lager Malt (3 EBC) : 4600 g (100%)

Hops/flavourings:
1. Citra - AA 13.8 - (45 min) : 25 g (20%)
2. Galaxy - AA 15 - (30 min) : 15 g (12%)
3. Galaxy - AA 15 - (15 min) : 25 g (20%)
4. Galaxy - AA 15 - (5 min) : 35 g (28%)
5. Citra - AA 13.8 - (1 min) : 25 g (20%)

Yeast: Safale US-05 (Attenuation 85%)

The Citra at the end is just to give it a bit of an aroma boost. It should be OK to mix Citra and Galaxy, shouldn't it?

I think they would work very well together, but it will probably be a citrus bomb (but I'd love it)

That's what I'm after I've been mostly drinking Heineken for the last 6 months and I'm sick of insipid piss.

I prefer Citra and Chinook, dry hopped with more Chinook, but not tried it with lager malt.

Hi mate,

Citra and Galaxy definitely work well together, see the link below

The flavour is tropical, grapefruit and orange (although it did have Summer hops too)

Id say its a harsher bitterness than other hops which I think is down to the cohumulone percentage but its a great pair.

Excellent. I can't wait to get started again.
