Been brewing extract kits for a while and decided to start formulating my own extract recipes after seeing a nice deal on a 50lb sack of dry malt extract...likely will use that bag to burn through some experimenting with recipes before making the jump to all-grain next year.
Looking for feedback on two recipes I've been playing around with in Beersmith that I'm hoping to brew in a few weeks.
New Zealand IPA- shooting for all NZ hops with some nice tropical notes, obsessed with their hops/beer since visiting last year.

Looking for any feedback / criticism. Feel like I may be over-complicating the grain bill on the stout.
