Next time I'll just use the Nelson in the finish

Tasty, did you ever try this with just the NS in the finish? I'm considering brewing this next and I'm thinking of following your recipe exactly (including your 2 week lager fermentation regimen) except replacing the Hallertauer Hopback addition (since I don't have a hopback) with a 2oz. 0 minute addition of NS (l have a bunch of this hop on hand). Wondering if you've tried it and what your thoughts were?

I did try it and the Nelson took over the beer hiding the natural wine type esters from the bock yeast . If I had to do it again, I'd do what you're planning, just use it as a flameout addition.
