Nelson/Galaxy Black IPA

[TronJunior]

Hey all. I had this idea to do a blackened Heady Topper clone because why not, but due to my location I only have access to certain ingredients so I figured I would take the heady clone recipe and make some changes. I have a couple pounds of nelson sauvin and galaxy hops so I'd like to showcase that combo in this beer. I took the heady hop bill from the clone thread and swapped simcoe equally with nelson, although after doing some reading I'm a little worried about how 'potent' the nelson is and that it might not play with others. I haven't used it before so I'm not too sure. I'm tempted to just RDWHAHB and see what comes out, but I'd rather not make a mess and waste a pound of hops and I have about a week until brew day. Let me know what you think! I'm open to any suggestions. Thanks in advance!

After a recommendation from a friend I think I'm going to drop the nelson and bump up the galaxy a little to look something like this:

60min 2oz Warrior(~16%)
5min 1oz Nelson Sauvin(12.5%)
5min 0.5oz Galaxy (15.8%)
0min 1oz Nelson
0min 1oz Galaxy
Whirlpool@180F for 30 minutes - 1.5oz Galaxy, 0.5oz Nelson, 1oz Amarillo, 1oz Falconers flight
Dry hop: 1.0oz Galaxy, 1.5oz Nelson, 1oz Amarillo, 1oz Falconers (split in half, 4 days on each)


Hopefully brewing this week. Will post results. Anyone have any ideas?
