Elvis juice

[Strollon15]

As I invested in organic fruit all I did was wash them, floated them in a Starsan solution over night and then peeled into strips, carefully scraping off any pith that was left with a sharp knife. Then weighed the pieces to get the right amount.

Next time i'll cut the pieces into thin strips to try and get as much of the fruit oils as possible into the brew and as I said, i'll up the amount, in my view you can never have too much grapefruit :whistle:

Thanks for the advice.

Just drinking one now, only tried it for first time yesterday, and absolutely love it.

However I can't find the recipe in their recipe book, could anyone post a link?

Also in terms of the grapefruit, lots of terms banded about - peel, rind etc, but I am guessing it's best just to use the zest?

Also as mentioned above, their set up means much better hop utilization, so for us home brewers, what's the suggested compensation for the late aroma and flavour additions,....an extra 20 %?

Obvs we all know we aren't actually allowed to call this "Ellis" anymore after the lawsuit judgement.

How about "Elbow Juice" then? :thumb:

Surely enough people have enough elbows to deter Elbow Inc of America from interfering. :whistle:

Just been down to co-op to stock up on grapefruit. Zest yes, pith no, how about the fleshy bit and / or juice? No one seems to use it, why not?

Interesting question I'd also like to know the answer to.

I'm getting one on this weekend, since no one is volunteering any better ideas I'll do a split batch, half with and half without.
