I decided to try something the other day and here is what i used:
5 lbs 6-Row Malt
2 lbs Flaked Barley
1 lbs Caravienne
5 lbs Amber LME
1 lbs Panela (Sugar)
4 oz Willamette Hops
2 oz Bravo Hops
1 pk Fermentis Safbrew S-33 Dry Ale Yeast
1 large Watermelon for 7.5 cups of juice
Cook Grains @ 160 for 45 Min in 4 Gallons
Steep Grains
Boil for 60 Min
Add Amber LME and Panela 60 Min
Add 6 oz Hops @ 45 Min
Everything was great til I added the juice to the secondary. I woke up the next morning to find my closet smelled like brew.....as I was about to head to work. The lid blew off the carboy and spewed watermelon extract all over. I just recapped and will keg this saturday. I hope it turns out great.
As for readings, I am still kinda new at this and have yet to take any readings. I cant complain with the 5 batches Ive done so far....Hell, GEN Washington and the other colonials never took readings, so I think Im doing fine.
Let me know what you all think. Any think I could add or take away.
