Notes: Bell’s Brewery’s Two Hearted Ale clone
(5 gallons/19 L, all-grain)
OG = 1.065 FG = 1.011
IBU = ~60 SRM = 7 ABV = 7%
Two Hearted Ale is one of the defining American-style India pale ales. This beer is bursting with aromas ranging from pine resins to grapefruit notes from the use of 100% Centennial hops.
Ingredients
11 lbs. (5 kg) 2-row pale malt
3.25 lbs. (1.5 kg) pale ale malt
0.5 lb. (0.23 kg) caramel malt (40 °L)
12.5 AAU Centennial hops (45 min.) (1.25 oz./35 g of 10% alpha acids)
12.5 AAU Centennial hops (30 min.) (1.25 oz./35 g of 10% alpha acids)
3.5 oz. Centennial hops (dry hop)
White Labs WLP001 (California Ale) or Wyeast 1056 (American Ale) or Safale US-05 yeast
3⁄4 cup corn sugar (if priming)
Step by Step
Heat 19.6 qts. (18.6 L) of strike water to 163 °F (73 °C). Mix with grains, the mash should stabilize at about 150 °F (66 °C). Hold at this temperature for 60 minutes, then raise temperature to mash out at about 168 °F (76 °C) either by infusion of boiling water, decoction, or other means. Vorlauf until wort runs clear then begin the sparge process. Collect approximately 7 gallons (25.6 L) and bring to a boil. Total boil time is 75 minutes, adding hops as indicated.
After boil is complete, turn off the heat and chill the wort to 68–74 °F (20–23 °C). There should be about 5.5 gallons (21 L) of wort in your fermenter. Top fermenter up with cold water if you are short. Aerate wort and add yeast. Place your fermenter in a temperature-stable place that is in the 68–74 °F (20–23 °C) range. On day five of fermentation, add the dry hops addition. Bottle or keg after 3 days on dry hops.

Notes: - Get White Labs WLP002 English Ale yeast if available.
- Mill grain twice. Use fine-mesh grain bag to minimize pumpkin getting into the wort.
PREP PUMPKIN
- Use pie pumpkin and/or butternut squash (if brown ale) about 10 pounds in total weight (to yield 3-5 lb net per 5-gallon batch).
- Halve the pumpkin, remove pulp and seeds, and cut the halves into pieces about 6 inches long. Arrange the pieces on a foil-lined cookie sheet, and sprinkle them liberally with brown sugar. Roast in the oven at 375°F until soft (approx 1.5-2.5hrs). During roasting, the brown sugar will melt and caramelize onto the pumpkin, providing extra flavor. Remove from oven and let cool. Peel off the skin, dice into large cubes (being sure to save the juice for its color and flavor), mash to a pulp, and store in a covered bowl in the fridge. On brew day, let the pumpkin warm to room temperature.
MASHING
- Don't leave heat on after meeting mash-in temp (163)
- Take about 1/2 gallon of the hot mash water before adding grain, add it to the pumpkin and stir to break up big clumps, yielding a slurry.
- Add all grains and stir, then add warm pumpkin slurry to the mash.
- Test pH after 10min...see Water Chemistry section.
- Mash-in will likely drop temp by 6degrees
- Mashing will likely drop temp by 10 degrees per 60min
- Range goal is 156 - 141 during the 90min mash
BOILING
- After sparging and while boil kettle heats up, move mash bag to over spare kettle, squeezing & letting drain. Add additional wort to boil kettle.
- Ferment in basement to keep room temp around 70degrees. |

| Notes: Another run at the Pals Have Fun base beer. Clearing out the freezer and using up some bags of hops. Changing up water profile to favor chloride over sulfate. Trying to get a fuller beer and not really following style guidelines. Also using different yeast (A38 instead of WLP001), partly due to age of WLP001 (7th generation and showing signs of overattenuation), but also due to desire for a more fruit-forward beer. Again, not really fitting style guidelines for expressive yeast, but trying to dial in a wheat beer I really like. Also the yeast flavors tend to compliment the fruity hops, rather than typical banana and clove from German hefe yeasts. Lower ABV, so needs some body and flavor. Changing water and yeast to see if that helps. |
