Sorry for a repost (original title was confusing, and want to better clue folks in on what I'm asking).

While I've tweaked recipes, this is the 1st I've built, ground up.
Any additional advice (appreciate OleBrewing's!) from those who have worked with highly hopped beers as to whether this should make a decent 7gal NEIPA? It'd be grand to have any rookie errors pointed out before I squeeze the trigger.

Much thanks and happy brewing!
Matthew

Personal tastes, but I would bump up the 60 min addition a little bit, to get to 20-25 IBU. Not sure what utilization is like on your setup but, I use hop bags and a hop-spider and it effects utilization. What is the most hoppy beer you've brewed to so far?

Thanks, mashinary!
I've brewed a Black IPA that had 122 IBU, so I've played on the high side, but only with others' recipes.

My system is a 20gal eBIAB, so I don't use bags for the boil, but I do for steeping/whirlpool. I recently got a 10gal Spike conical, which I have yet to dry hop in, but plan to use a home-made hope dropper.

Does the grain bill look okay to you? Thanks again for the assistance!

Yeah the grain bill looks good. If it were me brewing I would use a little less Munich malt, maybe 10-15%. Looks like you're using the generic Munich malt in BeerSmith. If you can get it, I like Weyermann Munch I, or the Avangard Light, they are a little bit lighter.

Post back and let us know how it went.

Here's a recipe I brewed a while back and the grist was pretty spot on for my tastes.

Hey, thank you for the advice, and for the recipe!
Really appreciate the help, mashinary.
And I'll be sure to post back and let you all know how it goes.
Cheers!
