Dry hopping the old ipa.

Only 200g... is it a 5 litre batch?

Quick one to make use of a rocketing S-189 yeast cake, this'll be the 4th batch onto it:

Helga ZERSCHLAGEN!,
aka Helga SMASH!

21.5L
OG = 1.045
FG = 1.009
IBU = 21.6
EBC = 9.5

4kg Vienna (Viking)
1.3g Citric acid to hit pH5.4

15g Helga (6%) @FHW
25g Helga @20mins (cubed)

CaSO4 & CaCL2 additions to target 56ppm Ca, 52ppm SO4, 70ppm Cl2,
plus a little extra CaCl2 in the boil.
16L Mash, 18L sparge.

Mash: 65/72/78 for 260/20/5, then ~90mins boil.

Left the mash at the sacch step while i had to go into work, hence the veeeeerrrry long mash schedule.

to be dumped onto a S-189 yeast cake, fermented ~16°C.

Just wanted to do a 100% Vienna, to gauge the entire flavour profile of this malt, as i've only ever used it in combo with other malts. Similarly with the Helga, got 200g, never used it, and most descriptors are a little non-specific (i.e.: sounds like ~5 other germanic noble hops). And i had a beer last night (Barrow Boys Stormy Lager) that was quite impressive, and was surprised to find it uses Helga.

EDIT: oh the irony of the name I chose for this. As I'm packing up, I noticed I'd accidentally grabbed and cubed the 60g baggie of Helga, not the 25g bag I intended. So instead of 21.6 IBUs it'll be more like 37 IBUs. Faaaaark!! [emoji35]
I put some ice on the cube to hopefully chill it down a little faster, but I already had to go to bed (swmbo waiting [emoji6]) and didn't have time to put it in a water bath.
Goddammitt! I might need to add a kilo of DME to it when I pitch it [emoji34]

Coincidentally I am thinking about doing something almost identical, was wondering about using coopers yeast though....

I will have a big heap of WY3711 French saison slurry I could bring to babbs if you want to make it a saison.

Appreciate the offer, but saison is my second least favourite style! it comes a close second behind sours....

I brewed the BCS recipe using 3711 and thought I ****** it up, so I got a stubbie of Saison Dupont, and found out that I just don't like Saison!

Was kind of dumb of me to brew something without having tasted one first, but it just seemed like what all the cool kids were doing....

My 2c would be to mash low at ~64C for 90+ mins and to up the simple sugar to 10% (maybe add during fermentation) so it goes bone dry. Consider using carafa special / midnight wheat / black prinz for the colour malt so that you don't get the roasted flavor (unless that's what you are after from the chocolate).

I'd drop a high alpha bittering hop at FWH / 90 mins for about 1/3 of your target IBU and go heeeeavy on the cube and dry hops.

I recently made a IIPA and dry hopped it warm and then again during cold crash. Was about 300g of dry hops for ~17L of beer.
