    Which hop for grapefruit

    I made an IPA that I bittered with chinook then bursted with a mix of Citra and Cascade and it tasted VERY strongly of grapefruit. My hopping schedule was : 1oz of Chinook (60 min) .5 Oz of Both Citra and Cascade at 30 min the same blend of citra and cascade at 20, ten and flameout

    How did you get hooked on brewing?
