Mornin' all...
I'm planning to brew a Vienna Saaz SMaSH as my next brew but I want to run a few things past you...
Bitterness - as Saaz is a Czech hop, I'm planning to bitter as I would for a Bohemian lager, so 35ish IBUs. However, I might bring that down because the FG is coming out as lower than the style, so might give the impression of a more bitter, dryer beer?
Yeast - Bohemian lager or S-05 ale yeast?
Am I thinking about it too much?
Any advice welcome.
