Hey everyone,
I am looking for a good two hearted ale extract recipe. I can find many all grrain versions online but am coming up short for extract. Anyone have one that they have made? If so would you mind sharing it and how it turned out? Many thanks

I only made the AG one, but it's easily converted.

What size boil can you do?

So far primarily have been making kits so I have been doing 2.5 gallon boils. I can do a 3 gallon for sure. Probably not much bigger than that.

Good base, but for a 3 gallon boil, I'd change up the hopping. In my mind, I'd do a full ounce of hops at each addition, except for the 45& 30 minute additions which I'd leave out.

My hops schedule would be:
1.00 oz Centennial [9.60 %] (60 min)
1.00 oz Centennial [9.60 %] (15 min)
1.00 oz Centennial [9.60 %] (5 min)
1.00 oz Centennial [9.60 %] (1 min)

1.00 oz Centennial [9.60 %] (Dry Hop 7 days)

Also, add 1/2 the extract at the beginning, and the other 1/2 at the end of the boil. That should give you a nice hoppy IPA.

Wow....simple enough. Thanks a bunch. What yeast do you recommend? Have never harvested yeast from a bottle before so is there a wyeast that will work?

I used Wyeast 1056, and that worked very well.

if you are adding 1/2 the extract in the beginning and the other half in the last 10 min. the gravity would be similar to a full boil.
