WARNING: Kettle losses > 2% detected which throw off OG calculation for extract/partial mash recipes in batch target 'fermentor' mode. Solution: Reduce kettle losses, misc losses and hops absorption in equipment profile, OR set batch target to 'kettle' and do a full wort boil. See batch target FAQ.

Notes

Beautiful pale Amber color. Strong aroma of grapefruit. Crisp grapefruit notes followed by a bitter finish. Very yummy and quite pleased how this turned out.

I was originally going to make this into a pale ale, but it is definitely too bitter. Will try another batch called Gluten Free Grapefruit Ale 1.1 that will be closer to a pale ale.
