Cool - thanks for the tips everyone! Went by Dan's yesterday and got the ingredients for his "Other IPA". Added 1 oz of Cascade at the 15 minute mark. The boil went smooth and it is in the basement fermenting as I type. Have 1 oz Cascade for the dry hop, but considering getting one more... How long would you recommend dry hopping it for? I've heard anything over 2 weeks and you are risking a grassy flavour?

I would start with Dan's other recipe, though. The crystal in the other adds some balance with a nice touch of maltiness, but the hops really dominate nicely. I have always found Storm's IPA a bit unbalanced (hoppy and boozy, but lacking in the malt department), but that's just me. The Willamette/Cascade blend is awesome. I use it for most of my beers.

I made the recipe with crystal again and again when I was using extract and steeped grains. My buddy made the AG version of it and it's fantastic. If you're looking for something nice and hoppy, my vote is for Dan's other IPA.

Hope this helps.

sorry just sub 7lb of light extract or pilsen DME or 8lbs LME.
If using steeping grains toss 1/2 pound 10L and 1/2 pound carapils/dextrine. I throw in 1/2 pound of flaked wheat for head retention as well.

So...

All Grain Recipe - Bells Two Hearted IPA ::: 1.064/1.012 (5.5 Gal)
Grain Bill (75% Efficiency assumed)

7lb Extra light DME or 8lb Extra light LME
1/2 lb. - Caramel/Crystal Malt (10L)
1/2 lb. - CaraPils

Hop Schedule (47 IBU)

1/2 oz. - Centennial (60 min.)
1/2 oz. - Centennial (45 min.)
1/2 oz. - Centennial (30 min.)
1/2 oz. - Centennial (15 min.)
1/2 oz. - Centennial (flameout)
1 oz. - Centennial (Dry Hop)
*optional*
If you like a bit more hop, use 1/2 oz of Centennial as a First Wort Hop addition

Yeast
Safeale US-05 ferment at 62-65F

hey, found this thread. what is Dan's other recipe????

Tlylebrew · 04-15-2010, 02:54 AM

Made the two hearted this past weekend. It is bubbling away nicely as we speak. Can't wait to try it out!! I'll report back as to how close it is to Bell's two-hearted.

Oooh and for the record I did it with extract (7# of light DME) and partial mashed the Vienna.. Although I have to admit it was my first PM and the temperature was difficult to keep steady on my stove. We shall see...

It will be awesome...its my go-to beer. I have made it with LME and now all-grain (many times). either way i love it...the hop additions give some room for error and its still excellent...

--enjoy

That looks awfully similar to Green Flash west coast IPA

As far as suggestion on a extract IPA, a American IPA typically finished semi dry to help accentuate the bitterness and to get that in a extract beer, I would subtract a pound of extract and add a pound of dextrose to help lower the final gravity. Also steep some crystal in there to give it a little color a head retention.

It's a clone. I mentioned that somewhere in this thread or another--can't remember. But I reduced the batch size to 5.5 gals.
