By far one of my favorites. In fact I just made a HopsDirect order so I can make another 10 gallons....
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
Keep in mind they shoot for a little less than 60 ibu I try to shoot a little over since mine ususally come out too sweet. And my centennial AA% is pretty low so you may need to adjust. I have not brewed this to tell you exactly how close it really is. View attachment 14884
something i forgot in beersmith. Dude said dryhop heavily. But i guess you knew that
Here is what the quality manager told me. Nothing is exact. Pale malt, enought crystal to get an SRM of 10, and all centennial. Lots of late additions shooting for IBU mid to upper 50s. Their yeast is ideal but second best would be american ale. Oh yeah...dry hopped. Close enought to play around with until it is right. Sorry for the mix up.
I'm all set to brew this for the first time today. A few weeks back I bulk ordered hops, including a pound of 2009 Centennial. I pulled out the package from the freezer this morning and noticed the AA on these are only 5% (not the the 9.5% in the OP recipe). So do I need to effectively double the entire hop schedule including the late and dry additions?
I made the extract version a while back and could not distinguish it from the real thing.
I've seen more than one extract recipe... can you point to the one you used? Thanks!
