I brewed some back in college, but the bottle game killed the fun! After 25 years I decided to get back in the game with kegs. I love a good juicy IPA therefore I picked up a partial extract kit for a grapefruit IPA. The brew went fantastic and it is bubbling away nicely now.
The kit came with 4 ounces of grapefruit flavoring. Something doesn’t seem right about adding this to my beer? What should I be doing to get the proper grapefruit flavor in the beer? The kit had me add 2 ounces of grapefruit peel with 10 minutes left of my boil, but I’m guessing the activity in primary scrubbed any fruit flavor out already.
I’ve done a great deal of reading here, but I can’t find much on this topic other than “flavoring 1/5 stars, would not recommend “
Also, a shout out to any west Michigan peeps!
