This is the recipe I posted for the Bell’s Two Hearted Ale write up. Pretty much anyways. I overshot the gravity by a bit. Looks like I boiled off more than usual. Also, I used an extra 1/2 oz of hops since I didn’t feel like packing up a 1/2 oz. And I couldn’t get Cal Ale, so I settled for Cal Ale V. I notched down the mash a couple degree to get it to dry out towards 1.015.

OG = 1.068
IBUs = 65

95% Maris Otter
05% Crystal 40

1.50 oz Centennial @ 60
1.00 oz Centennial @ 20
1.25 oz Centennial @ 10
1.25 oz Centennial @ 1
1.00 oz Centennial @ DH

Whirlfloc

Single infusion mash at 150, with mashout
pH = 5.35 @ 110-degrees

WLP051 Starter (1600 ML)
10.3 ppm O2
68 degrees

I pitched the yeast at 61-degrees, and put the wrap on it. It was 68 and up and running by morning.

The color looks pretty close. We will see!

See my update on how this turned out!
