Default Need a harder print than Grade 5 ?

I am trying to do a high key series of prints and have need to try of a harder print than G5 will give me.

I am using Ilford MGFB paper with Ilford MG Dev at 1+5 for 3.5 mins (the print seems to reach finality at 3 min - so a bit longer for print to print consistency).

Has anyone any suggestions ?

One of my own was to consider trying to mix my own Beers Two Sol'n variable contrast developer and mixing up the developer to a high contrast solution.

Any thoughts/experiences with this ?

Thanks

Martin
