FWH mellows out the bitter and adds more flavor. It's more akin to a 20 minute addition..
So, with this recipe, I would FWH with one oz instead of the 15 min addition?
Still add the 60min at the start of the boil?

This is a great beer, but I used Notty, and I'm kind of wishing I had not though.
I'm still learning yeast profiles, and I discovered I do not like Notty. It leaves a very scottish ale taste. Personally, I would love to taste this recipe with 1272.
I'm drinking my hydro sample and getting ready to dry hop this for a week. Amazing. Best flat green beer sample I've ever tasted.
So I semi-botched it Thursday night - I totally forgot to adjust my volume into fermentor in beersmith. I usually set my batch size to 6 gallons instead of 5 or 5.5 (depends on style and if I'm using whole hops in muslin bags or pellets), but I accidentally left it at 5. So I ended up using too little grain. My OG came in at 1048 instead of the 1056 I was hoping for.
I ended up hopping according to the original recipe so this will probably end up a little more bitter and hoppier than expected. Not a bad thing for an IPA necessarily, so I'm not too worried.
Thanks for the recipe! I made this a few months ago and only have a six pack left, so I decided I better make some more. So good. I've had about 6 people blind test this beer against a Bell's Two-Hearted and every single person preferred mine to the original. Yup, pretty proud of that. :rockin:
I brewed another batch last weekend using a yeast starter I made from the bottomx of 4 Bell's Two-Hearted Ale's I picked up at a local liquor store. Had never tried to culture yeast before, but both beer stores in town were badly depleted in their yeast inventory, so I didn't really have a choice.
So, I tried to culture the day before, and wasn't quite sure how that was going to work.
It took about a half a day longer than the other beers we made that day to start krausening, but by golly it took off eventually and is going strong!
Making beer is fun ain't it?
*we brewed on 9-25-11 - 5 gallons Bell's Two-Hearted Clone, 5 gallons Belgian Golden Strong Ale, 10 gallons Scotch Heavy Ale, 5 gallons Rye Ale

Did you go with Notty?
I don't always make sense.
Hey, it took me quite a while to screw that up - that bad!
I searched "Eschatz/Dubbeldatch" and went through a few pages of results only to land back at this thread.
Then!.... I didn't examine the first recipe, because it apparently doesn't contain the same info as what you posted imediately above. (I know I'm getting more confused.)
The first page has grain bill:
The above quoted text has:
...and there's no chance I was sampling home brew.
We need to go deeper...
Cobb: Downwards is the only way forwards.
Arthur: You. What the hell was all that?
Cobb: I have it under control.
Arthur: I'd hate to see it out of control.
Evil Twin uses hops @ 20 minutes until finish. Move them up and then you might need a bit more to get you what you want.
Mr. Malty said:In beers with significant bitterness (50+ IBU), you might still want to add a charge of high alpha hops early in the boil. If you don't, the amount of hop flavor can completely overwhelm some beers.
This definitely seem to be the consensus throughout the thread. Perhaps I will just make it according to the OP and then experiment with it in later brews (if I have the desire.)Honestly however the recipe works darn well as in the OP.
