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.

Pick up some from time to time anyway to thank them for their wonderful beer - if breweries didn't make stuff like this, we wouldn't be making this hoppy IPA today!

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

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.

Glad to hear the beer turned out well Fal! It's definitely a classic (and a simple one to brew at that).

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!

Glad you liked it! I'm surprised however that even your non-IPA drinking friends enjoyed it as it's pretty hop forward. I still haven't found an IPA that my wife will touch with a 10 foot pole... Wink

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)?

All ingredients are for the total batch size (12 gallons). How you split up your wort for fermentation/conditioning is completely up to you and I don't make any assumptions around that as everyone brews differently.

Good luck!

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?

Do you have any links to these recipes? I'd like to see them.

Yes. Very good. Like the commercial version. Never found the need for 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! Wink

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.
