This has been by far the best beer I have ever made.

Looks good!

Just 1 question... You dry hop this beer for 0 days?

Going to try this one this weekend

I will update you with my thought and will rate it at that time

Awesome

One of the best IPA's ive ever made. Will definitely brew again. Love this beer.

Gotta love Centennial hops!

I have never dry hopped before, so can someone go into detail for me.
Do you dry hop for 14 days?
Do I add the hops to the primary fermenter, if so how do you transfer them to
the secondary fermenter?
thanks

Made this 3 times. Very easy and straightforward. Love this beer. Can't buy it in New England. Just kegged 22 gal.

Highly recommended

A great IPA

Dry Hopping

Belly tank - as for dry hopping, I would do it in the secondary after fermentation has slowed down some. As for the time limit I believe it was an article in Zymurgy that said you don't want to dry hop for more than 14 days or you will start to get some astringent and grassy notes into the beer (unless that is what you want - but not for this recipe).

Going to brew this weekend and then will rate it better. However, will be brewing as a steep/extract. Any suggestions for that conversion?

Halfway through this recipe, my first IPA and I really love it.

Simply amazing

Smooth IPA

Nice and smooth for an IPA, yet great dry hop flavor. Thanks for sharing!

In My Top Four!

Just perfect! Hmmm, this is my kind of beer!

Awesome, to be brewed again

Excellent beer without even dry hopping! Very impressed with the taste! From what I can remember, this is close to the Bell's.

excellent beer

I haven't tasted the real one yet, but the clone was fantastic. I will definitly brew this one again.

Dry Hopping advice

I've had the most success Dry-Hopping for 48 hours at normal fermentation temps once the fermentation has slowed significantly. Then I do a cold crash for 48 hours to settle the hop material to the bottom of the fermentation vessel. According to a research group in Oregon 48 hours is the top of a Bell curve where you get the most useful hop utilization in a dry hopping situation. However, the researchers were also using an agitator in their fermentation vessel so that is why I do a total of 4 days (48h normal temp/48h cold crash).

Hope this helps.

Delicious!

My first homebrew, and I'm glad this was my first choice. This was excellent and now I'm wishing I had brewed more. The only thing I did different was up my CO2 psi to bring the carb level to within recommended range for IPAs.

Awesome

This was my first all grain beer I made and wow. Turned out perfect. Super hoppy and delicious. Dry hopped 1oz each cascade and centennial 3 days before racking into keg. ABV is up there so be careful. Had a headache the day after the super bowl :)

I ended up using US-05 yeast instead of the one in the recipe. I have ambient fermentation temperature ~57*F

a well balanced beer

I rarely say it but I think I will brew this one again, thanks jj. I really like the Denny's fav 50, was able to stir plate it up for four batches, this, another ipa and two reds. Seems to be great, maybe a pale next.

clone!?

have to drop the cascade if you want to truly call this a clone.. i havent made "this" recipe and judging by the reviews i would say its awesome.. but two hearted is centennial ONLY grain bill is spot on though

my first all grain

I chose this as my first all grain, I LOVE IT! I've shared this with friends and they cant believe it is home made. I had a few mishaps with the brewing process but got there eventually. SG's were spot on.

subbed US-05. fantastic beer

Awesome Sauce

This recipe needs to change its name to Awesome Sauce. best beer i've ever made.

Excellent recipe

First batch on our new hardware and it turned out GREAT. Denny's Favorite 50 wasn't available at our local store so we used Wyeast 1056 - American Ale with good results. Dry Hopping in secondary was also extended to 20 days resulting in a bit of astringency.

Nice thick head and good lacing. Nose builds up around floral and citrus notes. Taste is well balanced between malt sweetness and hops citrus flavors. Finish is all about bitterness. In our case astringency from the dry hopping and a bit of remaining sugar.

We will definitely brew again.

Solid !

This rarely makes it to the west coast but still one of my favorites !

Very nice

Made two kegs of this, really nice ipa

Used Cascade

There seem to be a lot of excitement about this brew. I have never had the original so it is hard to make a comparison. Never the less, I brewed this today. I had everything except Centennial hops. I grow my own hops and I have a Centennial plant, however it is getting a very slow start this year and this recipe needs a lot of hops. But I have a plant of Cascade hops that is over loaded. To me Centennial is Cascade on steroids so I used lots of Fresh Cascade (Dehydrated) and I will have more when I need to dry hop. I ordered the Denny's Favorite 50 yeast earlier this year for this brew, but I was worried it was getting too old so I use it with a different Ale and reused the yeast when I transferred it into its secondary. I was able to save the yeast and add it to this brew on the same day, and it is now going gang busters on this IPA after only a few hours. This IPA will be very hoppy may not be a clone, but still very hoppy. I think I’ll call it “Bell's Two Hearted Cascade almost Clone IPA?” Brew went very well and I think it will be a keeper. Thanks for sharing.

Flavorful IPA

Made 10 gallons kegged 5 and bottled 5 the keg emptied too quick gave out 18 bottles of samples all reviews came back great now I need to make another batch before I empty all the bottles never had the original but I really like this one.
Aug.19,2013 Just kegged 5 more gallons from my second batch of this but I added 1.5 lbs of rye flakes to the recipe. I'm convinced this is a winner every time. I still have 5 more gallons to keg yet since I converted this to a 10 gallon batch. Thanks for this recipe I love it.

Have made this 4 ten gallon batches. It is getting to the point friends are asking for it. The only change I have made was to increase cara piels to improve head retention.

Awesome Brew!

Made this a few weeks ago and tastes awesome as little as two weeks into bottle conditioning! I scaled recipe down a bit to a boil size of 6 gal but kept the same amount of cara pils and crystal malt. Compared side by side with Bell's - results were better head retention from the clone but a small amount darker in color. All my friends that love hops love this beer!!!!

What a first IPA!

We've done this IPA 1 month ago and we could wait to try it. After only 2 weeks in bottle, we tried it with friends during a beertasting. It came out so good that most of our friends preferred it to big name IPAs like Stone Cali-Belgian IPA, Sierra Nevada Torpedo extra IPA and Founder's Centennial IPA! Amazing for an easy IPA!

Super Beer

This is best brew I made so far. Everyone who tries this beer loves it.

I tried this using us-05 and mosaic instead of centennial and it still turned out awesome

not a true clone, but still great

brewed a 6 gal batch.
ferment 1 week
dry hop for 2 weeks
move to secondary to clear for 2 weeks and bottle
didn't last 3 weeks. even being in the bottle for 3 days it was great!
just brewed a new 10 gal batch.
I would recommend everyone that loves IPA's try this one

How long to ferment?

Very new here, so I apologize if this is repetitive. As far as the fermentation goes, I am assuming the primary should be 10 -14 days, and then move to secondary for dry hopping at 14 days. So the total fermentation should be ~ 24 days, or do you let it sit in secondary for some time prior to dry hopping?

Mash Temp?

Can anyone shed any light on what would be an ideal mash temp for this beer? I'm brewing it in a few days and it just dawned on me that I don't have a mash temp...Thanks for any help!

Great One!

I've brewed this a couple of times - One of our favorites! I've played with using various styles of hops at the end, still great!

Loved it!

This recipe has to be one of the best I've brewed to date and served to reinforce my love for Centennial hops.

Fantastic

My friends said it was the best home brewed beer they ever had!

Excellent recipe

I made a partial mash version with us05. Very tasty and well received by friends too. I will be making this recipe again! Thanks for posting this one

Nice Job

loved it thanks, great after 3 months conditioning

Inspite of mistakes, great

I made during a heat wave, so fermented a bit on the hot side. I put in my closet and put a frozen juice bottle next to it and rotated every day. When I opened it, pfisht, nice carb, and tasted really good. Would make again.

12lbs

Guys, I have Got a 5 gallons setup - is this really 12lbs of maris otter? Seems a lot for a 23 litre batch or have I go the sizes wrong.

My buddies got a round before heading out on a golf outing- they recommended we pass golf and spend the day drinking this amazing IPA!

One of the best beer I tasted, just finished second brewing of this

Here's a link to the actual recipe by the brewer, happy brewing
http://imgur.com/r/Homebrewing/bfITU9X

Close enough, and very tasty. Had one that didn't ferment properly and just came out sweeter, others have been around the 6.5% mark and taste great. A little cold conditioning helps smooth it out. A very good recipe.

my first IPA after 8 years of brewing. Definitely in my top 3 best beers brewed.

So far so good

Primary is chugging away at about 70 degrees. Will NOT secondary. Skipped the Cascade and went all Centennial. Smelled amazing during brew and hours after!
OG = 1.0663 - BIAB. Can't wait!

Great Recipe

I brewed this on 1/31/15 and it came out very good. Slightly malty, hoppy, big hop aromas. Using Denny's yeast is a must! There's not a single thing that I would tweak on this recipe, thanks JJJ!

Brewed this 4 weeks ago. I had a few changes like more hops for higher IBU, the yeast was amazing. Overall I will make this IPA again

nice

great recipe will brew again

love it

very smooth ipa thanks for sharing

American ll yeast needed

Switch that yeast to 1217 American ll and this will be a 5 STAR recipe . Its the yeast the brewery uses.

Excellent!

This is a real winner, will be a permanent resident in my kegs.

I brewed this up yesterday, everything went as planned so I'm hoping I'm as pleased as everyone else. I'll report back once my little yeasties are done working.

I went with 60L Caramel/Crystal for a little more color and WLP001.

Great Beer

This has been my most sucessfull AG beer to date. It's a little subtle on the hop aroma for my tastes so I will increase the amount of dry hops next brew.

Needs tweaking

Brewed based on receipe but dry hopped with Chinook and Centennial. Was disappointed by dark colour for IPA and lack of hop aroma. Will definitely brew again but will need to play around with grain qty and dry hopping duration! That said, still a quaffable beer.

great taste

You must to put the profile
water , if you want. thanks

Brilliant!

Love this beer. Will be making it again soon.

Subbed Mosaic and Citra

Subbed the Centennial with Mosaic and Cascade with Citra. It came out *very* good. :-)

First batch ever

Made this recipe as my first batch ever. Hit OG and FG spot on. The beer came out really good. Good aroma and bitterness, but nothing extreme.

A great recipe!

Many thanks!Turned out to be a great beer.

Awesome

Brilliant beer. Thanks.

Thank you so much! Perfect recipe.

I'll have another

Great brew! This was my first venture into all grain. With just a couple of minor adjustments for my equipment I hit the numbers. Dry hopped on day 15. Cold crashed on day 28. Kegged and carbed on day 35. Probably should have kegged a few days sooner. Couple days later I had to give it a try and then had to have another.... just to be sure.. great recipe. Thanks!

It rocks!

One of my favourite IPAs. Something for a special day...or night!

Yeast substitute

I cant get wyeast 1450 in my local store. Can suggest other yeast goes with this recipe? Can I use US-05 instead?

Not a Fan of IPAs BUT...

..this one is rather decent, very smooth taste and my friends love it!

All good

I love it.Great strong beer 10 deg abv. No dry hopping and i used us 5 yeast.Frends said excellent tasting beer.Will brew lot more

Centennial Rules!

Best beer I´ve brewed. Used US-05 and become great. Simple recipe, fantastic result. Sure will make this again.

Best IPA Ever

Granted I've never had the Plineys but I live for Bells Two Hearted as it is still the best IPA I've ever tasted. LOVE IT. So I've brewed several clones, but this one with the Vienna and Pils looks to be AWESOME. I can't wait to brew this. With a 6.8 target ABV its a little smaller than the original, but the flavor is what we're looking for right? Cheers!

Two hearted IPA

Very nice beer

Great Recipe !

You can also try this recipe if you like a Super Hoppy IPA.

Super Awesome!!!

Can't believe how good this came out!
Thanks for the share.

nice

nice

Mr.

Tonight I tasted this beer that I made some weeks ago.
I now understand why this beer has the most ratings.
Best beer ever. Ive never tasted the real thing, but omfg this recipe is the best

Amazing

Scaled it to 11 gallons. The first 5 gallon keg went dry in less than one week. Friends all could not believe how good this beer tastes. I will absolutely brew this again and likely soon!

Delicious

This was my first all grain brew after a 15 year hiatus (previously only partial mash brewing). It did not disappoint. There's a reason it's the highest rated recipe here :)

Nice IPA

Great recipe thank you!

Greetings from austria.

Excellent

Excellent recipe, thanks for sharing

substitute for Maris Otter and Denny's Favorite 50

I really want to prepare this recipe, unfortunately in Argentina I don't get Maris Otter and neither Denny's Favorite 50 nor any other liquid yeast. I need to replace this as close as possible, I appreciate any help.

Perfect choice

This beer has earned a perpetual place in my kegerator. Everyone likes it - especially people who "don't like IPAs"...

Great recipe, great flavors, one substitution

I have made this beer three times now and it turned out great each time. I do use basic Safale 05 yeast in my batches but things turn out great as far as flavors and gravity readings. BUt my friends who "dont like IPAs" still don't like this one haha

Awesome Clone

On average I brew a 5 gal. batch every four to six weeks. That's roughly 10-12 batches a year. Of those, I might find one or two that I'll brew again and again. This IPA recipe is a keeper. The only change I made was I used Safale US 05 because I had a sachet on hand. But the next time I'll use Denny's Favorite. The only addition I made was the use of the Hoppy Pale Ale as my target water profile (140, 18, 17, 350, 50, 27). Thank you for sharing.

Actual recipe

This looks like a yummy IPA.... may I make a suggestion though... 70% 2-Row, 25% Pale Ale and 5% C40. Heavy dose of calcium sulfate in the mash. Only Centennial hops in the boil staggered high for bitter and increasingly larger at approx 30/20/10, no WHP strike. Approx 55-60 BUs. Ferment warm ~ 75F/24C. Dryhop day 5 for 5 days, and should be 1.065/16P OG with a FG of 1.016/4P. That's the recipe. Source? I literally brewed it for them. If you're giggity, prop up some Amber or Oberon bottle yeast and you'll get even closer to the real thing. Happy Brewing!

Edit: I should have said why I liked this recipe here too. I have a soft spot for Vienna malt, so you had me there. Cheers!

fantastic

Great Beer

Really good flavor. Nice, clean bitterness easy to drink too much of.

wow
