There's also this:

I've never had it before, but it looks a lot like my APA except I use C10 instead of 40, and I use cascade with centennial. Now I'll have to keep my eyes open when I'm in the big city.

Why use carapils when there's already darker crystal?

Because that is what they brew at the brewery, scaled down for the homebrewer. The malts used and the house yeast give enough body and mouthfeel that you don't need carapils.

I tried it after primary was complete (OG came in around 1011), and it tastes exactly like a belgian blonde.  The yeast must've overpowered the hop characteristics because they're not coming through at all  >:( :'(.  I'm still planning on dry hopping with a bunch of centennial.  Not expecting much out of this one since I'm not a huge belgian fan.  At least I only have to drink 10 gallons of this stuff........

Isn't Two Hearted bottle conditioned?

Force-carbed, but unfiltered.

I've grown it up from Oberon. I'm sure THA would work.

Beer is like porn. You can buy it, but it's more fun to make your own.

You need to dry hop the heck out of it. Lots of flavor from the dry hops too, not just aroma.

It is similar to the Sierra Nevada process. Some force conditioning in the tanks, a small amount of sugar and yeast in the bottle. The bottles are at 70F for a week for conditioning, then into a cold warehouse for finishing.

I like to use the yeast from Amber or Oberon bottles.

I have only seen Two Hearted sold locally, and that was just this past weekend at a package goods store that I was just strolling through.   If I can get a culture to start (the beer is probably old), I will plate for singles.  Is there anything weird that I should be aware of?  It is a single strain culture?

I believe it is a single stain. They have a lab and yeast propagators.
