I have a surplus of Galaxy & Citra so I reworked your recipe on Beersmith to work on my system with a slightly lower sulfate ppm & a substitution of these two hops. I can get NS & OYL-113 from the lhbs but i might take your opinion and omit the phantasm powder.
It won't be a NZ pilsner but it'll be a NZ style hoppy pilsner. Now I just have to find time to brew it...
Good Luck. FWIW, i'm constantly reworking my water profiles. I think if i do this again i'll actually have more sulfates, after doing some more research and with the help of AI.
For example, my west coast pils which is upcoming beer #2, has a sulfate/chloride ratio of 2.66

Just dry hopped my pale ale with some old Mosaic in the freezer. I assume despite being a few years old, vacuum sealed hops will still hold up. Never been opened.
Also added strawberries to my saison. Hopefully this yeast can dry it out, im worried about it ending up too sweet.
Also started a starter for my kolsch. Hoping to have 3 beers on tap for most of the spring and summer.

I've had some pretty meh experiences with using hops from my freezer. IPA's or heavily hopped beers just felt muted. I was ordering hops in bulk from Yakima Valley/Yakima Chief/HopsDirect. But recently, i just started ordering as needed outside of a few varieties of hops that i'll use more frequently, like Saaz or Hallertau. Otherwise, i'm ordering hops when i order my grains and just enough for the beer i'm brewing. I'm trying to not keep hops older than 2 years.

I want to brew a non-sour belgian saison soon. I need to add it in my brew calendar. I've used strawberries in a kettle sour before with lactose. It was a delicious beer, and sweet, but it was a dessert type beer.

Anyone ever dry hopped a kolsch? I have like an Oz of Cascade i want to get rid of. Might as well, right? Won't taste like a classic kolsch, but its not going to be so overpowering that it tastes off. At least that's what im thinking. Maybe just give it a tiny little citrus aroma.

Dooooo It.....that's mainly why I brew, to experiment.

Brew day was yesterday.....first brew in 4 or 5 years. This went very very well. Brewing in my electric system is so smooth. Granted...I forgot how much work this is. I took it slow and didn't rush. I had to knock a bunch of rust off my process. My system is a custom 2 vessel electric RIMS system in built. I didn't not RIMS but just BIAB in the boiler. These are 20 gallon pots. I'm really contemplating of downsizing pots. Because not sure I need to so 10-15 gallon batches anymore. But soldering in triclamp fittings to these pots were a bitch.
Brewed a New Zealand Pale Ale I developed years ago using motueka and wakatu hops.
I forgot to do all the measurements throughout so not sure of what I'm gonna get but the measured OG is well above my estimated. So either I miss weighed my grains or both of my refractometers are off. So expecting a sneaky high ABV.
Brewing a neipa soon. Neighborhood is having an event and the people wanted homebrew. So I should have 10 gallons of pale and 10 gallons of Neipa ready.
