Good point - until recently, I did a flameout hop addition by default. It wasn't until another highly regarded brewer here in Australia suggested that I will lose less aroma properties if I dry hop late in primary or in secondary when there's a much lower level of CO2 leaving the beer - presumably taking some of the hop aroma with it...

in my last brew i have dry hoped at the end of primary AND for the last 5 days of secondary, and it seems to work well! :D
