Notes
Let this one clear nicely, drink fresh.

 

I made a pretty similar all Centennial hopped beer, oh I don't know, probably over a year ago and it turned out really well.  Not exactly like Two Hearted (I used some Gambrinus Honey Malt), but the hops flavor tasted spot on.  I'm going to go out on a limb though and say the IBU's for that recipe look low.  I think I used something like 7 ounces of Centennial (including the dry hop).  It's a 7% beer right?  I'd expect this to be more in the 60 IBU range, but that's just me.

I didn't think two hearted was too overly hoppy. Just a good mellow hop citrusy flavor. 3-1/2 ounces of hops seems like a lot to me though. I don't know what the typical IBU's of Centennial are. And I probably wont be able to get the hops that I need anyway. I might go this weekend and get the ingredients for this and another Belgian Wit. And I have a spare ounce of Columbus that has a really high IBU that I could always add to kick it up but I don't really like a high IBU brew.

 

Is this recipe for pellet or whole hops? I have a recipe that uses 4 ozs of pellet(1 oz dry hop) Centennial thats called McHales IPA and it is One fine brew. I have a pound of Centennial whole hops in the freezer. I might just try your recipe.

 

It might not seem like it has a ton of IBUs, which I don't think 60 is, but I think it's one of those beers that gets a most of it's bitterness from late hop additions.  The bitterness is much smoother and is easily overpowered by the flavor and aroma.  I'm just weary of trusting the 47 IBUs as the short Google search didn't turn up an IBU level listing of Two Hearted and it's not listed over at the Bells Brewing site.

I guess the only way to find out how well it clones Two Hearted is to brew it...could be worse, ha.

Just read this guy's blog,

http://www.yoursforgoodfermentables.com … local.html

and thought it went along pretty well with this thread.  Who knows, might help you out if you end up trying to brew a clone.  I'm of the opinion that you almost can't go wrong as long as you use Centennial hops and dry hop it...
