Yeah, partial is doable. 45 minutes at 155? Add the extract during the boil?

Good call. Any idea of amounts? I'm going extract with the pilsner . . . Steeping the others.(unless something else is recommended. I'm not set up for all grain)

I am brewing next week. I am trying to duplicate a clean, crisp ale that was strongly flavored of Citra and Simcoe. I know the grains that I must use, but I have no clue the ratio/amounts. The base malt is a 6 row pilsner. Others are: white wheat, flaked oats, and flaked rye. Somebody hit me...

I have 10-12 ozs of FAlconer's Flight hops in my freezer. I gotta use it up this weekend. Somebody shoot me a malt profile that might be nice for a pale ale or an APA(partial mash). Whatever. I feel like taking risks! I'll use a yeast that I grew from a few bottles of Two Hearted.

Great advice. Thanks. It is a VERY good beer - to my tastes. I'm just trying to "tweak" it perfect!

Just brewed a fine pale ale. It was moderately hoped with Citra and simcoe. It is a wee bit too bitter for my tastes. Next time do II simply back off the 60 minute initial hop addition? 1 oz of Citra to 1/2 oz, or something like that?

I have been harvesting a Bell's Two-Hearted yeast(from bottles)for the past few weeks in an erlenmeyer. A few days ago - after a solid feeding( 48-72 hrs with fresh wort). I went to put it in the fridge to let it layer out and it smelled of hard cider. Is it ruined. Is it the wort? Can I just...

I took the dregs of four decanted Bell's Two Hearted and added DME. I have decanted and added starter twice in 4-5 day intervals. I just decanted a Bell's Amber Ale. When the dregs reach room temperature, can I add it to my flask? Isn't it the same yeast?

I started with no visible yeast . . . Just the bottom dregs of four Bell's Two Hearted. I added the starter and over 3-4 days it grew to a solid(I would guess 1/8 of an inch) yeast film. It now is settled to about a 1/4 inch yeast cake. Should I add more starter and then plan to brew this...

I am harvesting a Bell's Two hearted yeast. It built quite nicely with the first starter. 3-4 days later(after it appeared to stop) i put it in the fridge. I made a new starter(2 cups h2o, 1/2 cup DME) boiled for 20 minutes - brought down to about 80 degrees. I had pulled the erhlenmeyer out of...

I've done something stupid . . . Again. I was going to harvest Bell's Two Hearted yeast so the wife and I split a six, saving the bottom inch for collection into a sanitized flask for some DME addition and stir plate aerating. Did almost everything right. After a week I have a nice yeast cake...

I just popped the top to a citra ale . . . Boy is it good! Why don't I see more commercial use of citra hops?

Then the next question is . . . Do I make the Midwest Hophead Double IPA . . . Or Northern Brewer 115th Dream Hopbursted Imperial IPA?

What I figured.

What is the difference btw a double IPA and an Imperial IPA?

Actually I'm looking into some centennial as well.

Small world . . . Up in Montross I plan to grow the exact same set up. Do some bittering with the magnum, and throw the cascade liberally into just about everything!

Although technically not a session beer, Two Hearted is my session beer. When you drink as many doubles and imperials as I do, it is hard to go much lighter than a Two Hearted. Robust flavor with a crisp lightness(relative) that allows for drinking 3-5 with little problem. Thanks for the...

Dynachrome- let me know about that Two Hearted clone. Seriously, if I could get something close to that I might cry.
