I brewed this a couple weeks back and kegged it last night and force carbed it. This is a great beer! My efficiency sucked cause I was rushing things so my OG was only 1.060, but I finished at about 1.015 so its about 6% abv. Its basically the same recipe as the original except I added a bit more 2 row and I used .75 lb C40 instead of .5 lb C20 to give a little more color, and used Cali ale yeast. I've done about 25 brews in the last 8 mths and this is one of my favorites. I'm looking at buying some bulk Centennial cause I'll be doing this one again this summer for sure!

EDIT: Did a side by side to 2 Hearted and this brew is pretty much dead on - flavor and color. Fantastic beer!

brewed this today with some minor changes, i never tried bells so it should be good even if its not a clone. changes i made were an extra pound of vienna, chinook for bittering, and notty yeast

I'm in the USA and am drinking a metric **** tonne of Two-Hearted.. it's absolutely delicious. My clone was very different though. I used US-05, but I noticed the OP's recipe lists S-04. Is this what Bell's uses? I might bring a few Two-Hearted back, and try to culture some of their yeast.

Recipes 

Bell's uses their own yeast. Nearly all their beers are fermented with it. I would recommend you harvest from a bottle of Oberon (I know it's a wheat beer but they use their house ale yeast). As far as a reasonable commercial option Bells recommends wyeast 1272. I don't know what that translates to in dry yeast but it is less clean, more fruity, and more flocculent than 1056. S-04 is the whitbread strain, which is better than us-05 for this beer but I would highly recommend you harvest your own or if that is not possible use 1272, which IME is pretty close.

Just bottled my clone. I followed DubbelDach's variation (above) using Death Brewer's Stove-Top All-Grain process. I'll follow up in about a month.

Brewed this a while back, kegged, and force carbed and brought the whole thing to a get together last weekend. It went over VERY well! Lots of people were raving about it!

This will definitely be a regular brew for me from now on... Thanks!

I see Bell's lawyers made Northern Brewer change the name of their clone. Wouldn't be surprised if they start filtering the yeast.
