Posting as an update in case anyone searches and finds this thread. I tried to grapefruit an IPA by infusing grapefruit zest in to the priming sugar. while the dredges of the priming bucket tasted promising, the results after a week in the bottle were dissappointing. i did the zest of 2...

about 1 week in bottles after using a grapefruit infused priming sugar, and i can report that using grapefruit zest in the priming sugar is not enough. there is a hint of grapefruit at the back of the mouth, almost nothing in the aroma, and very little citrus in the middle of the mouth. i went...

got home friday, and after taking off the blow-off tube a couple times to check the beer for signs of infection and to take some samples, the bubbling stopped entirely. samples came clear with very little sediment and no funky flavors that i could detect. when looking at SG i was initially...

just bottled an all grain version of this, except instead of dry-hopping i infused grapefruit zest in to the priming sugar. my hop bill was also slightly different, mainly due to availability and me wanting to focus on citrus. because of my job the beer sat in primary for almost a month...

home depot sells a 3/8" compression x 3/4 hose adapter, that is what I used. It allows me to simply use garden hose for my chilling lines to and from the wort chiller. For the source side I found a sink faucet x 3/4" garden hose adapter for my kitchen sink. I also made it so the fittings on my...

Bringing this back from the dead. I am attempting a grapefruit IPA and was debating whether to add the zest in when i dry hop, or to infuse the priming sugar with zest before bottling. Opinions either way? Do both?
