DUH! DIPA

Durham · NC · Production - Micro

IPA · Year Round · 8.0 ABV

Awesome Old School DIPA with Rye and Flaked Red Wheat!
Duh! is the first hazy-style recipe DIPA we made but it’s not hazy. Back when we first brewed Duh! hazy beer was considered a flaw. We use flaked wheat and flaked rye to add extra proteins to the mash to help the hop oils stay in solution, but use vegan-friendly fining agents to ensure the final beer is bright and clear. Originally we used 100% whole cone hops exclusively so we used weights to hold down the hop bags during the dry hopping process, improving the complexity and yielding tons of aroma. Since this was a real discovery moment we named the beer “Duh!”
