Alpha Bits 1 | WeldWerks Brewing Co.
ABV: 7.0%
IBU: 60
Style: IPA - American
Actively Produced
Description: The Alpha Bits series, inspired by our popular New England-style IPA Juicy Bits, will serve as both our playground and proving ground, where we can test different brewing techniques and trial new and experimental hop varietals, with the goal of pushing our hop boundaries even further with each iteration. In an effort to get unbiased feedback about the hops themselves, we do not plan to disclose the varietals for each iteration of Alpha Bits. This valuable feedback from each batch will help us determine which varietals we use in future beers and decide to contract. For Alpha Bits 1, we kept the malt bill similar to Juicy Bits, with nearly 20% flaked oats and flaked wheat, but made some pretty significant changes to the hop additions in order to better showcase the different hops used in Alpha Bits 1. We increased the bitterness a touch with a larger and longer hop addition in the whirlpool and we also scaled up the dry hop additions accordingly, bringing the total hop rate up to nearly 5 lbs/bbl.
