Alpha Bits II

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.
For Alpha Bits 2, we increased the flaked oats and flaked wheat to nearly 30% and featured three different hops we have not used for our New England IPAs yet. 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 significantly, bringing the total hop rate to just over 5 lbs/bbl.
