I am assuming he had to break two carboys open to get the beer out when he shoved whole grapefruit into them before. This way, the hops provide the citrus flavor.

If I'm wrong, I'd be surprised. [/super funny sarcasm]

HAHAH...the day I designed and brewed this was the day I lost 10 gallons of beer, two 6gal glass carboys and about 6 hours of labor! I was getting ready to transfer the beer to kegs and had both glass carboys sitting on top of a table. The adjustable push button style leg broke and yea you know the rest. Just as this happens my 60minute mash timer goes off. 1 carboy per table now!
