Ahh great to hear truman. all reports so far from people say that this is a ripper! How much and when did you dry hop? And were you happy with the result?
Thinking of doing this, 23L chilled at some stage this week. Have there been any more members who have brewed this and had big success? I'm especially interested in what everyone's done when it comes to dry hopping, as i imagine that's the only way you can get that real big hit in a similar fashion to what the real pacific ale gives you. Suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

I forgot to add I only had 10 litres so worked on 2 grams per litre, so adjust yours to suit.Cheers for the reply guys.
Phantom, I'm happy to lose clarity in this brew to ensure that you still get the punch of galaxy both on the palate and with the aroma. The commercial version is no chardonnay in terms of clarity. I can imagine it's tough to find that spot where you realise the potential of the galaxy hops vs overdoing it and almost ruining the brew.
Truman it looks like you're the expert with this recipe at the moment. I might follow your dry hopping schedule and i think the Amarillo could be a nice edition (Plus i just love it as a hop so any excuse).
Looks like a late night brew coming along tomorrow night after work!

Heres mine but this was taken before I racked and cold conditioned for two weeks which cleared it up some what.

Truman, did you lose much aroma from the CC'ing?
No not really. I brought some into work and the first thing everybody said is "Smells like passionfruit"
Except one dickhead..he said "smells like fruity lexia" I said "only a homo like you would know that." That shut him up..LOL
Moose, i've used pellets during the boil but i will be using (for the most part) flowers during the dry hopping. No real reason other than G&G had gotten a fresh delivery of them and i'd never used flowers before. I'll let you know how it goes.
Truman i'm using your method and dry hopping 2 gram per litre, hoping that it will punch me in the face every time i pour it. So very excited about tasting this one!
Just ordered up all the grain so I can have a crack at this beer. Hoping it will be in its prime come summer time... the perfect thirst quencher I'm hoping. I'm assuming that most of you that have tried this recipe were using pellets instead of flowers?
Flaked or torrified wheat is easiest as raw wheat should be serial mashed first.This recipe calls for 0.2kg of raw wheat. I am planning to BIAB this, is there a suitable replacement if I can't get raw wheat. Some suggestions I have seen around are Torrified wheat, wheatbix... Thanks
