Well you can't say know the boss there Joshua man I wish my missus wanted me to brew more beer for her not the other way around.
I brewed an orange IPA last summer and added a hop bag of orange zest to the keg and definitely got the taste of oranges. This is what I suggest doing. If you bottle secondary would work. If you add juice your into radler
I've got a whole bunch of them same Myer lemons on my tree out the back at home Joshua mmm lucky me lol.
Has any one used a small addition of citric acid to achieve this?I'm really looking for that BITE of grapefruit
Hey guys, i smashed up one pound of those sliced Meyer's and tossed them in at flame out, pounded in 32oz of organic grapefruit juice at the same time.... once it cooled before pitching the yeast i added another 32oz of juice.... and it's doing good! I slammed on the lid before tasting the wort, but it smelled outstanding! I really added in alot of my Dad's fresh hops and it's going to be pretty good i think. It's fermenting away in my largest bucket without any problems.
I think i will probably still dry hop at least twice during secondary, as well as bomb another jug of juice in there,
...... as a side note, my second batch of jalapeno beer is going nutz and i had to pull the airlocks, go figure?
I had good luck with these hops last year, so I just bought 1/2 pound more I'll be planning to use in a single-hop IPA with soon.

Since these are older hops now, combined with actual grapefruit will probably be key. Okay, I might consider a little Mosaic too when it's all said and done, and not go single hop.
