Galena Hops - Fresh Pellets - 1oz

Galena is a classic American hop variety bred from Brewer's Gold and first released in 1978. It has been a reliable workhorse bittering hop for decades, valued by both commercial and home brewers for its clean bitterness and consistent performance.

Brewers often describe Galena hops as providing smooth, clean bitterness with subtle notes of citrus, blackcurrant, and mild herbal character. This neutral bittering profile makes it a versatile choice across many beer styles.

Galena performs best as a bittering addition added early in the boil where its high alpha acid content provides efficient, clean bitterness that supports other hop flavors and malt character.

Galena hops are widely used as a bittering hop in a broad range of beer styles.

Ideal for:

• American IPA
• Pale Ale
• Stout
• Porter
• Amber Ale

Galena provides a clean bitter base that pairs well with aroma hops such as Cascade, Centennial, and Citra for flavor and aroma additions.

• Add early in the boil for efficient clean bittering
• Use first wort hopping for smooth bitterness integration
• Combine with aroma hops for late additions and dry hopping
• Use lower quantities due to high alpha acid content
• Store sealed in the freezer to preserve freshness and hop oils

Galena is an efficient bittering workhorse that pairs well with aroma hops like Cascade, Centennial, and Citra for balanced hop-forward beers.
