Has anybody tried a big whirlpool addition of Styrians into an English IPA?
How hard can you go before the marmalade takes over?
 
Yes, I did. I used (from memory):

FWH 50g
10 30g
0 20g
Dry Hop 20g

Initially it was pretty overwhelming but settled down and now towards the end of the keg (of course) it's coming out nicely.
That said, I think I wouldn't bother with the dry hop next time and maybe back off a tad on the whirlpool.
Depends on your taste buds really.
Previously I've made Belgian pales with 10-15g in the whirlpool and they have finished with a hint of marmalade that balanced the yeast (Ardennes) nicely.
 
Good luck, let us know how it goes.
