Welcome from New Brighton.

I've been thinking of doing a 2H clone and was researching recipes. I saw this kit as well. Just wanted to point out that the hops they include with the kit are from the hops they buy for brewing, so higher quality than most. Also, you can buy Bell's house yeast on their website if you don't...

So I brewed a SMASH beer, but used two malts... DUBASH beer.

That would be me. Although I'm going to stop using Simply bottles as they've dropped to 52 ounces. Pure Leaf Ice Tea looks like it will become my small batch favorite. It's fun to do a small batch and split it between several containers. Then I can experiment with yeast, dry hops, etc. Welcome...

Welcome from another Twin City brewer (New Brighton). Good you appreciate your wife; she's definitely a peach. But, don't feel too guilty. In addition to love she is also getting good beer. :)

Small batches are great. I use 3 gallon carboys, but sometimes i go even smaller. I recently brewed a 144 oz. black IPA. I put it into 3 Simply OJ bottles. Drill a hole in the lid for an airlock and they work fine. I used 3 different dry hop combos to test for when i do a big batch.

Welcome from Minnesota. Ask away with questions, people here are helpful. Remember, it's better to ask a dumb question than make a dumb mistake.

Welcome from Minnesota.

Harvest yeast from Bell's Two Hearted.
