Description:

You do not need actual fruit or rind to have good fruity flavors. Recently I was asked...is this that Sculpin Grapefruit; is this gluten free? Is this Gluten Freeee? Yes, it is gluten free and I made it.

Ok, this beer tastes good, but did not go to plan. The hop profile is a good basic profile to use. If things do not work out...improvise, that is what I did for this beer. I had a trouble getting this mash to convert. I had too coarse of grind, and too low of temp to gelatinize the grains. (I am experimenting with reverse mash profiles; mashing in at 180F, holding for 20 minutes, and then letting it cool and add enzymes. Often I see half the conversion done before I even add enzymes, but more experimenting). So room for improvement. I like this beer with the D90, although a bit dark for the style. You could try D45, but it tastes good with D90.


Grapefruit, and tropical fruit aromas and taste. Has a little bit of that English beer foot smell (but in a good way, as those beers are good too). One of these hops must be related to East Kent Goldings.
