If I use peel, how do I use it? I mean, just big chunks of peel, or strips, zest it or how? And how much is a "large portion? Also, when I add the juice do I need to kill the yeast off first so that the sweetness from the grapefruit remains?
In my experience, citrus peel adds bitterness more than citrus flavor. Zesting it, as Denny suggests, might be a good way to go but I still think you'll get some bitter flavor out of it.Your choice of yeast and hops can also help accentuate fruity flavors. I'm not sure what hops give grapefruit, but I've definitely gotten grapefruit flavors when drinking saisons.
I'd add juice in secondary.
