Notes

dried grapefruit peel that had been soaked in vodka before being added in the secondary with dry hops. That beer brought more grapefruit aroma to the party. I think a combination of juice at the end of the boil and grapefruit zest in the fermenter after fermentation might be the ticket to improve the beer.
