About 10 lbs of white sugar
Watermelon juice to 4.5 gallons
OG approximately 1.120
Acid blend, yeast nutrients, pectic enzyme, Red Star Champagne Yeast.
To get the juice from the melons I scooped them into a blender and pureed. Then poured through a mesh strainer. After draining a bit I dumped the pulp into a cheese cloth lined colander to let it drip out into a bowl while I worked on my next batch.
I'll take an SG reading and taste it in a week. If I really like it I'll add about a gallon and a half of watermelon juice sweetened to the 1.12 gravity when I rack it.
