Interesting, I haven't heard of Styrian Wolf hops before. I hope it turns out well. I haven't used Vienna in a NEIPA before, I usually just use 2 row or pilsner with favorable results. Also, Funktown ale is new to me, but I don't believe wild yeast to be a characteristic I associate with the NEIPA.

If I were you, I'd replace the Hallertau hops with a basic bittering charge and use the styrian wolf for all late addition. I would consider replacing a portion of the vienna with 2 row. I would also begin with conan or a clean ale strain so you have a baseline result to start experimenting with.

In the past I've tried too many new, uncharacteristic things when brewing and wound up with a product that was all over the place, not true to any style, not very good, and I could never detect why because I was all over the place with my recipe.

Best of luck!

No input on the recipe but curious where you bought the Styrian Wolf hops. They sound interesting.
