In this video I am brewing Bell’s Two Hearted Ale (American IPA), using the brewery’s own recipe from their website. I do a step by step tutorial on every part of the brewing and fermenting process from mashing in to packaging your beer.
You can buy Bell’s homebrewing kits (extract and all grain kits), or find the recipes and instructions at:
