Notes

Notes - The brown sugar and grapefruit ARE NOT included in OG calculations above, but only added in the fermenter. Measured/target OG should be 1.079 coming out of the kettle, and is raised to ~1.082 when these additions are made to the primary. ABV is slightly affected by this

From AHA:
Mash grains at 152° F (67° C) for 60 minutes. Mash out at 170° F (77° C) for 30 minutes. Add 1/8 lb of honey and 1 5/8 lb table sugar to the boil at 30 minutes from flameout. Add the remaining 1/8 lb honey and 1/8 lb table sugar at 5 minutes from flameout. Ferment one week at 70° F (21° C) in primary, followed by two weeks at 64° F (18° C) in secondary. Use fresh, pink grapefruit, membranes removed, and add to primary at 60 hours along with the 4 ounces of light brown sugar.
Primary fermentation for 7 days at 70° F (21° C).
Secondary fermentation for 14 days at 64° F (18° C).
Bottle condition to 2.15 vol. CO2 with 3.4 oz table sugar.
