Thanks for the water advise Kal. As stated, I am just starting to consider my water situation. I guess my best plan of action right now is to get lab tests for my untreated water and consider a RO system. I am brewing again this weekend and had already planned on doing a 50% dilution of my water.

Brewed this recently and it turned out great.
I haven't tried the original Two Hearted but if it is anything like this then I understand why it is currently rated Americas best beer. This clone is a perfect balance of hoppiness, malt and alcohol. Incredible beer which turns out a shining example of the style. This went down well with all who tried.
I would go as far as saying this recipe was flawless.

Question: I was thinking of brewing this for a fishing trip next month, but didn’t need a 7% ABV beer for boat mates. I was wondering if I just scaled this recipe to about 6%, would it dramatically change it. I know it won’t be the same beer, but will it be enjoyable?

Hi Kal, this beer has been requested for me to brew for this year's 4th of July party. I plan to brew this in June but was curious how long does this beer need to cold condition in the keg before it is spot on, so I can time when I brew this beauty. Is it ready right after force carbing in 24 hours or so, or does it need about a week to come together?
John

Excellent, that is what I thought but just wanted to see if this one is any different with conditioning times. I will plan to put this in the keg 7 to 12 days before I need it and all should be well. Thanks for the quick response! Going on a little over five years now brewing with your control box and electric brewery. Batch # 66 (I brew 10 gallons once a month) coming up next weekend!
Cheers!
John

Kal, just wanted to say that this beer is fantastic! Everyone at the party loved this beer. I had a can of Two Hearted that I got in Orlando a few weeks ago that was canned on 5/25/2021. We did a side by side comparison and this recipe really comes close. The people at the party all said that the one I made had brighter and fresher hops and the aroma popped more than the real one! Also it was so smooth and balanced and drinks like a much lighter beer. This one will sneak up on you! Thanks again for posting another stellar recipe!
Cheers,
John
