Hey, all.
So, I've gotten two excellent-looking recipes for Bell's Two Hearted Ale from HBT members. One is a straight extract brew, the other is a mini-mash. I'm not set up for all-grain yet, so those are my limits.
Please help me choose between them, and thanks! Oh, and for the yeast, I'll be harvesting Bell's yeast from their bottles.
Here's one from member s3n8:
<<Two Hearted Ale clone
Brew Type: Extract
Style: American IPA
Batch Size: 5.00 gal
Boil Volume: 6.34 gal
Boil Time: 60 min
Ingredients Amount Item Type % or IBU
7.00 lb Amber Dry Extract (12.5 SRM) Dry Extract 74.6 %
0.50 lb Cara-Pils/Dextrine (2.0 SRM) Grain 5.3 %
0.50 lb Caramel/Crystal Malt - 20L (20.0 SRM) Grain 5.3 %
0.50 lb Munich Malt (9.0 SRM) Grain 5.3 %
1.50 oz Centennial [10.00%] (60 min) Hops 49.0 IBU
1.00 oz Centennial [10.00%] (15 min) Hops 16.2 IBU
0.50 oz Centennial [10.00%] (5 min) Hops 3.3 IBU
1.00 oz Centennial [10.00%] (Dry Hop 7 days) Hops -
0.88 lb Corn Sugar (Dextrose) (0.0 SRM) Sugar 9.4 %
Estimated Original Gravity: 1.071 SG (1.056-1.075 SG)
Measured Original Gravity: 1.076 SG
Estimated Final Gravity: 1.018 SG (1.010-1.018 SG)
Measured Final Gravity: 1.016 SG>>
and here's a partial mash recipe from the estimable and ubiquitous YooperBrew:
<<2 pounds vienna malt
.5 pounds crystal 10
.33 pounds carapils
1 pound 2-row.
4.5 pounds DME
.5 ounce Centennial (11%) 60 mins
.5 ounce Centennial (11%) 45 mins
.5 ounce Centennial (11%) 30 mins
.5 ounce Centennial (11%) 15 mins
.33 ounce Centennial 0 mins
.33 ounce Centennial dry hop
Steep (mash) grains at 152 for 45 minutes. Add water to bring up to boil volume, and add extract.
This is a PM recipe, but it's easy to do in a grain bag. Steep those grains as directed, in 1.2 gallons of water, and then sparge (rinse) with 170 degree water by lifting up the grain bag and pouring the sparge water over it. (Or, follow DeathBrewer's tutorial).>>
