By far one of my favorites. In fact I just made a HopsDirect order so I can make another 10 gallons....

Northern Brewer has a three hearted recipe kit (shown below). If you look at the hop additions for it they use .75 oz at 60 minutes and they are mashing at 153, though the grain bill is different.... I think I'll try the OP's recipe but lower that initial hop addition as he later posted. Going to harvest the yeast from 3 or 4 bottles of their Pale Ale this weekend. I have no erlenmeyer and no stir plate, so I'm going to pour it into a sanitized two liter bottle. I'm thinking of making a starter like on Tuesday and stepping it up Saturday for the Sunday brew day. Any suggestions on that?

Fermentables

* 11 lbs. Rahr 2-Row
* 1 lbs. Briess Caramel 40

Boil Additions

* 0.75 oz. Centennial (60 min)
* 1 oz. Centennial (20 min)
* 2 oz. Centennial (5 min)

Special Ingredients

* 1 oz. Centennial Hops (dry hop)

If you choose dry yeast

* Safale US-05. Optimum temperature: 59-75° F.

If you choose liquid yeast

* Wyeast #1056 American Ale Yeast. Optimum temperature: 60-72° F.

Mash Schedule

* 153° F for 60 minutes
* 170° F for 10 minutes

I finally got around to doing this reciupe. I ramped up yeast from a bells amber and becasue I just did 2 10 gallon all grain batches this past weekend I went for a partial boil in the kithchen. Basically all grain with 3# DME to make up for bad eff. and partial boil.

few mondifications:

8# 2 row
2# Munich 10L(all I had)
8oz cara pils
8oz c-20L

1.4 oz centennial 60min
1 oz centennial 15min
1 oz centennial 5 min
1 oz centennial 1 min
1 oz centennial dry hop

partial boil about 4 gallons and will add 3# Light DME at end of boil..calculations come in about 55 IBU's
and OG around 1.066 give or take still boiling so we shall see when I am done.

This is very close to a Stone IPA clone I make that is very tasty..half the crystal malt which is fine im hoping for 1.012ish final gravity
\

Well it has been a bit since I last did a partial mash and my OG was 1.070 so my efficiency was higher than expectyed ..bit bigger beer than 2 hearted I just hope I can get 80% attenuation so it drys out a bit...

I did a mini mash of this recipe -my first mash ever with 6lbs DME and the vienna in the mash tun, mashed too high and finished high on my FG.

Even with that mistake this is my best beer to date.

They don't sell 2 hearts in WA state, unfortunately. But, I drink beer, and can judge for myself if this brew is any good. To date, this is my favorite beer I've brewed. Crisp, fresh, nicely hopped, good abv - all around great. Only problem is, I can't only have just one! (more like 5).

What do you guys think of fermenting this with Wyeast Pacman?

**Moose777** · 03-06-2010, 04:25 AM

I brewed the Northern Brewer Thre Hearted and it was the best beer I made.
I have a large supply of whole leaf hops on hand so I think I may do this receipe in a few weeks.
I'll order everything except the hops from BMW...I just got back from BevMo and no Bells beer there, damn.

Fug,,,just checked Bells website..this is primarily east coast beer, Arizona is the only western state they distribute to...so much for yeast cropping from a bottle

I had a chat with the quality control manager at Bell's a few weeks ago. He just GAVE the recipe for Two Hearted!! I havn't brewed it yet but i will soon. I think the posted recipe could use a little adjusting. No offense, I think it is probably a great beer.

cheers
