All-Grain - Bell's Two Hearted Ale Clone (close as they come) - Page 54

Has anyone ever tried the Dead Ringer IPA (Two Hearted clone) from Northern Brewer? If so, how did it compare to this recipe? I think I am going to try this extract kit from NB and do a full boil. For whatever reason the kit is economically more attractive that putting together all of the ingredients separately so.... I thought I ought to try it.

2 weeks primary, 1 week dry hopped in secondary then forced carbed in my keg.Hands down one of the smoothest beers I've ever brewed.

Thanks for the " go to IPA "

I ended up using Nottingham I also made a starter the day before. I've read starters aren't needed when using dry yeast but no harm done.

So yea, great beer I rarely brew the same beer consecutively but I will with this one.

I have. It's very close to Bell's. I will brew it again.

Awesome, I look forward to brewing it then. It's so close to this clone recipe anyways so I thought I could just save myself a few bucks. I'm sure there will be something I'll change the 2nd time brewing, but that is the fun of it, trying to figure out ways to improve your beer!

Brewing this Sunday with a 001 yeast. Wish us luck.

Just brewed this recipe today. My original gravity ended up being 1.060. I also used WLP001. We'll see how it goes. I do have 2 oz. of Centennial leaf to dry hop with. Looks great. Smells even better.

I've read through a bunch of these, but which of the two recipes, NB's Dead Ringer or this one is more accurate?

I did the side-by-side picture thing tonight.
