I've been thinking about how I use Galaxy. The received wisdom on this forum seems to be that Galaxy should be reserved for 10-0 minute additions but Hill Farmstead, Brewdog, Anchorage, Cigar City, Bridge Road and Flying Dog are able to make world class beers using Galaxy all the way through (They have scores of 100, 94, 99, 95, 91 and 95/100 on ratebeer.com for Galaxy single hopped IPAs & IIPAs).
So I’m wondering what they're doing to achieve such brilliant beers using Galaxy on its own?
Does FWH help smooth out the bitterness? Are small, frequent doses a better way of achieving the best flavours or is a single addition more effective? Does limiting dry hop contact time help?
I'll be trying some stuff myself but I'm interested in what others have found as well.
