Curious if anyone else has a chance to read through the Brulosophy ExBmnt posted on May 2, 2016?

I have been fixated on making hoppy beers recently (even though I feel drawn to brew other styles - I just cant stop - possibly I am hopelessly and deliciously addicted).
I have been hitting the hop stands in many iterations (temp/time/amount of hops (lots - like 10 -12 oz in 5 gal)/ stir or not stir etc) but just have not been satisfied with the results. Often times I find any real juicy or exotic hop flavor fades immediately during primary fermentation - leaving me sad and spending lots of $$ on hops.
With that said, I have been getting fantastic results (flavor and aroma) with dry hopping/keg hopping/ adding hops when primary is 90% done etc. I found the xBmnt mentioned to be 100% inline with my experience - like a breath of fresh air. Curious to hear what others think about it!
