I thought I'd share my recipe for this weekend. This is my third iteration of this beer, "HoneyDew," that my wife initially requested a few years ago. I've also enjoyed it quite a bit, and I think its pretty easy to make. The intent is to have a kolsch-style beer with just a subtle flavor and aroma of honeydew melon from the hops. I'm trying a new yeast and dry-hopping this time around for a bit more aroma. I'll update the thread to review the yeast and Wai-iti hops (they're a first for me).
