I have heard wonderful things about Bell's Two-hearted Ale and it has made me really want to try it. Unfortunately, I cant seem to find the damn thing and it is old only in a few Mid-Western States. I decided I was going to make a clone of it, because hell it seems like a simple enough session IPA. I do however not want to spend 2.99 an oz on Centennial hops and am going to do it with part of the pound of Amarillo I have here. Multiple sources said that I could use Amarillo as a sub.
The Recipe:
10 LB US Pale
2 Lb Vienna
.5 lb Crystal 20
.5 lb US Carapils.
All mashed at 153 for 60 minutes.
The hop Cycle:
.5 Amarillo 60
.5 Amarillo 45
.5 Amarillo 30
.5 Amarillo 15
.5 Amarillo 5
.5 Amarillo Flamout
1 oz Amarillo Dryhop in Secondary.
Yeast:
Us-05
My Question is, since I have never had the THA, what should I look like to compare it with tastewise. Regardless I will have a damn tasty beer, does anyone think Ill be close to the actual THA? I got the recipe from both BYO and http://www.brew365.com/beer_two_hearted.php .
