Which book 2S?

Bavarian Helles: History, Brewing Techniques, Recipes. Good book, interesting read. I think it was about £9 from TMM, worth putting in your basket if you are buying stock from there.

I constructed a recipe using the "plain and simple" outline recipe in the book which hit the IBU indicated. I then put the hop schedule into Hop Control and it showed that the flavour profle was well below the style guide for Helles. So I increased the late and whirlpool hops which meant I was a few points over the recipe IBU but was a lot closer to the style. Useful tool.
