I made my first watermelon wheat beer, about 2kg for 5 gallon batch. It smelled like off watermelon, tasted like rotten watermelon bit left a pleasant watermelon aftertaste. The second batch I dialed down the watermelon by half in hope that it would cut down the rotten flavor. Watermelon was undetectable, but still a slight rotten fruit flavor. I froze the watermelon both times before adding to secondary. Had anyone tried boiling it down to a syrup? My thought is that it will kill the enzymes and boil off the impurities that cause the rotten flavors. Thoughts?
