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

Peel or zest 3 to 4 grapefruit. Add rinds or zest to pan, and juice fruit into pan. Boil the combination until syrupy. Add the resulting syrup to secondary, rack on top, and condition for at least 1 week.

Note: do not add pith to the fruit concoction, as it is bitter and will result in off flavors.
