ok so whilst waiting for the priming solution to cool i did the maths...
First of all Brumbrew because both your guesses were taken 1048 - 1012/1008 I split the difference so your Fg was 1010.
and so the results....
OG was 1050 fg was 1004. So the beer comes out at 6.04% abv (I wasn't expecting to get done to that - must be a result of re-hydrating the yeast?)
Whilst my sig has some high abv brews in it this one is the first I was aiming for around 6% , so job done.
in reverse order is......

Nice one Dad, and congratulations Dan :thumb:
Its been siting in the fridge since Monday and I decided to treat myself and make my prize bottle the 1st beer of Friday.
And what a treat it is:-
Fantastic fruity aroma - especially getting the grapefruit, with flavour to match.
It's a dry, refreshing brew but doesn't taste as dry as I was expecting considering the FG, but has a lovely bitter aftertaste.
I'm defo gonna increase my dry hopping rates in upcoming similar brews to match.
Thanks dad_of_jon for a cracking pint and a cracking comp, and I agree, you do get a bit of pineapple coming through - especially the first few mouthfuls.
