Which yeast did you use? I am going to be brewing this around Wednesday when my sanitizer gets here. Any tips?
I racked the beer onto the watermelon juice last night. I will bottle next week and let you know how it turns out.
This sounds interesting, I may try it sometime!
I'm currently waiting on a brew to finish primary (a freak wheat where i put in way too much malt, 9lbs not including the 1lb honey actually with no Irish moss). Once that is finished this will be a strong candidate for what comes next!
Only thing is I am only as far as extract and have not steeped grains before, I'm curious to do so though!
Ben - I ended up brewing your version of the Watermelon Wheat. Although I used 6lbs of LME and I used American Hefen yeast
Thanks yeah, I know the 153 is not really low but coupled with the low gravity and the pound of honey I was a tad worried.
First sparge tasted god awful but it was better after boil, im sure it will come out nice. I just learned wheat beer are not supposed to age much at all (2 weeks or so) this was supposed to be a beer for the end of May but it gives me time to secondary and bottle this one to start drinking mid-may and I can make another one next week and have it ready as well.
...i also added a new twist to things by carbonating some of the 22oz bottles with watermelon jolly ranchers and the rest with priming sugar. holly hell the ones with the jolly ranchers are bad ass the flavor is great and it adds some more aroma. i will definatly be sending some of these out for contest in the near future.
