I'm going to brew a Maris Otter/Galaxy SMASH this week and wanted some suggestions on the hop schedule. I'll be using 12# of grain and I have 8 oz of Galaxy to use. I was thinking something along the lines of this:

1oz FWH
.5oz @ 20
.5oz @ 15
.5oz @ 10
.5oz @ 5
2oz @ Flameout
3oz dry hop

I've been interested in brewing a NE style IPA and wanted to make this as fruity/juicy as I could, but I know with it being a smash, that it won't have the same character. Any other suggestions on the hop schedule? I believe the Galaxy I have is a few months old, but lists the AA at 14.3%. Thanks!
 
Looks good! Let that 2oz at flameout steep in the hot wort for 20 min(hopstand) before you chill you won't regret it.

I have a rye pale ale in the recipe section that uses a small bittering charge of magnum and then no more hop additions till the 20 min hopstand with Galaxy, and a 2oz dry hop turns out great!
