Think I am going to brew this one this weekend if my Honey-Dos allow me. Have some friends wanting some hoppy beers.

Wow! I made 10 gals of this Two Hearted and split the batch with WYEAST 1272 and Harvested Two Hearted yeast.
Two Hearted is my favorite beer that I don't brew myself. However, this recipe negates any reason to "buy" Two Hearted ever again! Excellent clone.
Now excuse me ... I have some heavy drinking to do.

Have you guys done a side by side taste test
on this recipe? I've seen the recipe all over the Web but the hop schedule seems really low. I usually drop at least 8 to 10 oz in my IPAs.
Edit: I'm talking 6 gallon batch

Someone perusing the aisles at their favorite beer store is liable to think that this is some strange marketing attempt at making a fish flavored beer. I sometimes wonder how much more they would have sold (if any) had the label been different..."
This is no doubt a function of a regional beer gaining national recognition. I lived in the UP and Northern Lower for ~14 years. Understood what this referred to instantly. Great beer.
Thanks for the recipe Kal!

I made this and I'm not a huge IPA fan. I'm more a stout and Belgian fan. Either way, this was an easy recipe and I thought this was BETTER than the store bought Two Hearted Ale. 10 gallons only made it 4 weeks without any major gatherings at my house. Not one person didn't like this beer.

I've never gone through a 5 gal batch so quickly (mostly by myself). This is one of my new favorites. It's so well-balanced, even my non-IPA drinking friends enjoyed this one.
Thanks Kal!

for the 2 oz dry hop, is that 2 oz total, as in 1 oz in each carboy? or is it 2 oz in each carboy (4 oz total)?

most of the other two-hearted recipes i have seen call for doubly that hop quantity for dry hopping. i assume yours is good with the 2 oz? ever tried/thought about dry hopping with more?

above is from bell's brewers, from zymurgy. scaling to ten gallon, they dry hop with over three times as much as your recipe but also have way less hops in the boil.

I remember those recipes. I remember doing a lot of research into the different ones available and disregarding those as not entirely correct. Unfortunately I don't remember the reasons, but it often has to do with scaling from production levels to smaller homebrew levels and how things work differently. Moving late addition hops to dry hopping is often one thing that's done as late additions in the giant commercial setups tend to keep boiling for 30-60 mins longer than at home given the thermal mass of the setup.
I suggest brewing both and seeing which you prefer!

oh for sure. i suspect the beers will be good either way, just comes down to preferences. i already have a batch fermenting in two carboys right now, maybe i'll hop with one ounce in one of them (to match your recipe) and then put, say, 2 oz in the other carboy.

Having my first success in 246,736 attempts this week I'm ready to go again!
For the starter, I've got the 2L Erlenmeyer and stir plate...how many smack-packs/vials should I go with??
