Notes

pressure fermented (6psi@38F) in the unitank and Kegged on 12/21 - rest 3 weeks - serve on 1/11 need to get 6 gal into the fermenter to account for the loss with the grapefruit floating particles - maybe get an inline filter for this beer Do not exceed 1.25 quart/lb mash volume... 30 minute rests at 104F, 125F before mash temp at 152°F (67° C) for 60 minutes. Mash out at 170°F (77°C) for 30 minutes. Add half the honey and 1 5/8 lbs table sugar to the boil at 30 minutes from flameout. Add the remaining 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. Carbonate to 3 volumes of CO2.
