FAQ

How long does it take to brew the Galaxy Pale Ale?

Fermentation usually takes 7–10 days in the fermenter. After bottling, allow at least 3 weeks for the beer to carbonate and condition.

For best flavour, many brewers leave it 4–6 weeks before drinking.

To know when fermentation is finished, use a hydrometer. When two readings taken 1–2 days apart are the same, the beer is ready to bottle.

What makes Galaxy hops special?

Galaxy is a premium Australian hop variety grown in Tasmania, prized for its intense tropical fruit and citrus character — think passionfruit, peach and a hint of lime. It's the defining hop behind many of Australia's favourite modern pale ales and IPAs, making it a brilliant choice for a first hop-forward brew at home.

How many bottles does the kit produce?

This kit produces 21 litres, which gives you approximately 28 x 750ml long-neck bottles or around 56 x 330ml bottles. That's a generous batch — plenty to share and still have some left for yourself.
