Had a boring day at work and decided to try and put together my very first recipe. I recently had a local pale ale made with Galaxy hops and loved it. Being a big SciFi nerd I decided to try and make an IPA with only hops with space related names. Now, please tear this recipe a new one, as I really don't know what I'm doing, but I'm going for a nice, lighter coloured IPA that is dry and crisp. This is what I have thus far.
Outer Space IPA
O.G. 1.077
F.G. 1.017
ABV 7.75%
IBU 75.15
SRM 9.18
14 lbs 2 Row

1 oz Pioneer, 1 oz Galaxy @ 10min
1oz Pioneer, 1 oz Galaxy Flameout/Whirlpool
Dry Hop with Galaxy? Maybe 2 oz
I have heard Galaxy can be hardcore, dont know how much they used in the local pale ale. I also considered Millennium or Challenger if anyone thinks they might be better.
