I ferment Ruby Red Grapefruit juice using the same procedure as apple cider, including cider yeast. The end product is excellent. My question is, can it be put in a cider category for BJCP competitions without any apple in it.
BJCP Category for Grapefruit "cider"

I'm no BJCP judge, but no apples = not cider.
If it's apples, it's cider. If it's pears, it's perry. If it's any other fruit, it's wine.

Yooper nailed it...
Op what is your recipe? You dont end up with a bitter mess??
I assume you back sweeten it and dont drink it dry?
My father LOVES grapefruits but i always thru out the idea of grapefruit wine, interesting if it dosent turn out like orange wine!

I know this is super super old but if anyone reads this... I just bottled a gallon of Grapefruit apple cider. I used 3/4 of a gallon of Grapefruit juice and topped it off with honey crisp apple juice, 1 cup of white sugar and i used lalvin ec1118 yeast. I think it came out pretty damn good. Next time i will use less grapefruit but i wish i had made 5 gallons instead of just a gallon. can't wait to try it carbonated!!!
