Description
This kit brews 19 litre of one of our favourite IPA’s, Two Hearted has regularly been voted as the best beer in the world by Rate Beer, and this moreish IPA fully deserves the award.

Rated having never tasted the original, I can only go off my finished beer. It’s exquisite and the yeast is a proper beast. It fermented aggressively, cleanly and boy was it active for a long while. I harvested enough for 10+ more brews with it.

This just a stunning brew. It is without a doubt one of the best I have tasted. Will have to buy more as my brother and friends drank me dry before I had a look in! Highly recommended 👍👍👍👍👍

This is an outstanding kit. It’s a beer I love when in the US so thought I’d give it a go despite not normally using kits. It is delicious and the hop pellets have done an amazing job with the aroma in particular. The yeast was active very quickly and seemed to keep up the activity for longer than yeasts I’ve used in the past. I’ll be ordering another kit to keep stocked up.

Another fantastic IPA. I ended up with a few more litres than planned and it’s none the worse for it. Lovely hoppy flavour. Three week bottle conditioning and a couple of days in the fridge before I tried it tonight and very happy. I will be making this again.
