Dude, 30 ibus of anything at 60m/fwh, 20ibus of Galaxy at 20m, then take everything you have left of mosaic, Amarillo, Galaxy, and split in half. Half goes in for /15-20m hopstand before chilling, the rest as dryhops.
As for what dan says, I do think mosaic is great as a dryhop, but it might not be as good in the boil (not bad at all) a bit of a bully hop, but not a doubt it'll work nicely matched with galaxy. Loving.my galaxy APA.
And yeah... Amarillo isn't great boiled.

I can't find it right now, but somewhere there's a scholarly article comparing short whirlpool hops to long whirlpool and then adding a dry hop. The long whirlpool was found to have more oil than the short whirlpool and the short whirlpool more oil than the all kettle addition beer.

I put in a half ounce of Mosaic for FWH - 18 IBU.
I then put in an ounce of Galaxy @ 10 min - 14.3 IBU. So far, so good.
I then started the flameout/whirlpool stuff. This tells me that Beersmith is really wonky for whirlpool calculations.
At any rate, I'm currently looking at 16.5 ounces of hops in a six gallon batch. This feels like insanity to me. Am I not overdoing it?

Brewer's friend doesn't have a default. It just let's you put a utilization in that you like. I think you can change it in beersmith to your liking as well.
I usually use 5% for my whirlpool hops above 170F. But that's still a guess. I feel like sometimes it's over that and sometimes it's under.
I think a BYO article a long time ago said 10% was a good starting point. I saw yesterday on probrewer that some pro's were using 12%. Larger volumes have higher utilization though.
Long story short, it's a bit of a crap shoot, IMO. With that level of hops, you could probably get away with just the 20m and whirlpool hopping, if not just the whirlpool.
I think this is where the whole iso-cohumulone is more soluble thing starts to make a big difference. If you use high cohumulone hops in the whirlpool you'll have higher bitterness, and maybe a higher % utilization would be better.

Says "half the IBU of a similarly timed boil addition" but can be adjusted.
One other thing you can do is to add a charge for 10 minutes at flameout and whirlpool, then turn on your chiller and drop the temp to 170F and add a second addition and whirlpool for another 10 minutes. I've really liked the beers I've tried this with.

A pound in 6gal is excessive.... Sounds great!
Tbh, you could probably lower it a bit. 12-13oz should do it.
