It's a big brewing world out there, make sure you see as much of it as possible! Australian Sparkling Ale is one of those mysterious beer styles that a lot of us had never sampled (or even heard of, really). But its light, easy-drinking body paired up with delicious hop-forward flavors and aromatics make it an outstanding, sessionable brew. Pilsner dominates the malt profile with a dash of White Wheat and Carapils for body and mouthfeel, allowing the hop combination of Galaxy and Strata to really pop. Similar to how the best view of the Milky Way is on a moonless night in the Outback, these hops are on gorgeous display as post boil and dry hop additions, with very little bitterness to cloud the citrus, tropical, and cannabis character they impart.

Symons Galaxy was first brewed at Imperiale Beer Project in Brentwood, CA as part of a virtual collaboration with Australian beer historian, Peter Symons. Who better to have at your side (albeit through the computer screen) than the gentleman who literally wrote the BJCP guidelines for the style? This collaborative effort resulted in a unique, modern take on the ASA style—introducing Strata, a non-Australian hop, into the mix to complement the heavy additions of Galaxy hops. Symons Galaxy was a smash hit, and is sure to satisfy any hop head out there. For great reads on historic Australian beers and other topics, check out Peter's collection of books here.

What temperature whirlpool do you recommend for this kit?
Brian L on Feb 22, 2022
BEST ANSWER: Whirlpooling between 160 and 170 degrees will ensure the wort is hot enough to stay pasteurized and cool enough to not dissolve excess bitterness in the batch.

This is tasty little beer. I held the whirlpool/steep hops 175 degrees to yield about 25 IBUs. The 4 ounces Galaxy dry hops definitely push the tropical notes nicely. This setup would most likely work well with other hop combo's, Azacca and Mosaic for instance. A higher carbonation rate adds to the drink-ability.

Kind of grassy and very cheesy? Upon order it seemed new and different, so I gave it a . Unless my taste buds were not prepped for the half way around he world.flavor, the best I can conclude is something wasn't quite right with the hops received/used?
