Honey is all simple sugar. Definitely use yeast nutrients to keep the yeast happy or they will get a sugar crash and poop put early. I don't...
You said it was a session IPA. I find a lot of session ipas to be a bit grassy I think it is too much hops in a light beer. There just isn't...
Never used kazbek but I like cluster. Think your somewhat sweet grain bill should go well with it. Could be a nice one. It's always a great...
Wheat beers are usually best young. Same with IPA, but can be helped with a week or two age depending on how strong it is. Stouts or other dark...

Especially when you use words like bloviation..... Lol
It does seem like it will be too bitter. Maybe the lactose balances it? I'd drop it to 50 ibu instead of 70 and see what it's like then.
I'd use them all in a pretty simple beer, split somewhat evenly between 60, 30 and 0 minute additions. Use the recipe calculator to keep it under...
Should be tasty. Maybe a bit sweet but marzens can be. Not many ibus to counter. Think it should be good though.
I have not but know others who have. Works just as well as any other priming sugar, as long as it is mixed in the beer well. Just dumping some...
