Notes

Recipe Notes: I added 1/2 oz. of grapefruit peel and juice squeezed from 1 large grapefruit to the boil. I added the peels from 2 large grapefruits (minimize the white pith) to secondary (after soaking them in vodka to kill any bacteria), as well as one large chunked up grapefruit, which infused into the beer over 5 days (along with the dry hops listed in the recipe).
