Brewed an AG version of this, but I subbed Nugget in for my 60 min. addition, just because.

Missed the gravity by a few points, not sure why.. but can't wait to see what the Amarillo brings.

Brewing this one this Saturday. I have seen mention of using 1LBS of
crystal 40, but have not seen any replied results. Better balanced,too sweet? I have 1 pound and tring to decide which way to go.

Personally, I think 1 lb. would be fine. Is this AG? Mash at 150 if so. And what yeast are you using? Final gravity will be a factor in how sweet this is.

I kegged this, and pulled a little sample. It's pure grapefruit juice! This is my first time using Amarillo. Guess I'm going to have to wait for it to mellow.

I loved the early grapefruit sediment heavy days... but have no fear it will mellow out.

I think a 1/2 lb would be fine. When you decide to go with 1 lb, switch to the 05 yeast. And steep your grain at 150. You could even to a partial mash with a couple lbs. of 2-row.

Well I did it to the recipe exept used US-04 and she bubbling away. I am going to brew this again next weekend except with US-05.What do yall think about subbing Special B(1/2lbs) instead of Crystal 40?

Even after only 4 days on gas.. it's already mellowed.

I have some friends coming over this weekend, I'm really hoping it's drinkable by then.
