    Could anyone tell me how you use the grapefruit in this recipe?

    Sure, I did was add the Grapefruit Peel and 1 quartered Fresh Grapefruit to the boil (the juice out then quartered and added). I repeated the process for the additional 2 Fresh Grapefruits, but this time I added them to the secondary. Note: I actually adjusted from 2 to 3 that went into the secondary. The beer was a HUGE hit and did not last long in my keg!

    Thank you, so the juice is discarded right? most homebrew recipes I've seen them only using the zest.
