Grapefruit IPA Recipe

Brew date: 27 Mar
0.1875 lbs specialty grains (provided with Dead Ringer IPA recipe), steeped 15 min

45 min boil

1.5lb Maillard Malts Gold Malt Extract Syrup (@ 45 min)
6 oz corn sugar (@ 45 min)
3.5 g Centennial hops (@ 45 min - bittering)
7 g Cascade hops + 4 g FF C7 hops (@ 15 min)
7 g Cascade hops + zest of 1 large grapefruit (@ 5 min)

Cool wort in ice bath (sink) to ~ 80 deg.  Transfer to fermenter, aerate wort.  Pitch ~1/2 pack of Safale US-05 yeast.

6 Apr: Transfer to secondary, dry hop (4 g FF C7 + 7 g Cascade in a muslin bag)
10 Apr: Bottle
26 Apr: Tried first bottle; good body and flavor, would've liked more carbonation

Future Improvements:
- Partial mash vs steep (grains)
- Additional malt extract (?)
- More grapefruit zest, but put it in a bag (to keep bits of the zest from making it through to bottling
- Use Cascade and Amarillo hops
- Dry hop longer
