I'm sure I replied to this somewhere else, maybe THBF? But anyway, galaxy = passionfruit, cascade = grapefruit. Why the hesitation?

[markpeace]

Haha, quite right. Maybe I'm a glutten for punishment; I'm thinking surely there's something wrong ... but maybe I should just take it that its a good recipe! Anyway, brew day next Friday, I think!
