I might brew this tomorrow. I don't have the hops listed though, but I do have Centennial, Cascade, Simcoe, Chinook, Warrior, Tettnang. so I might use something from those.
 
Hi fellas

I live in Australia and only made my first batch of beer the other day. That seems to be going well but I also attempted a 2 gallon batch of this 21st hell or high watermelon and I think I may have fluffed it. It doesn't seem to be bubbling much at all. Also it smells a bit sour? is this normal or did I butcher it? How long are you supposed to leave the wort in the primary fermentor?


The process I did was

1. Mash the grain
2. Bring to boil then add the hops
3. chill the wort
4. place in the primary fermenter with the US safale yeast as the brew shop did not have Wyeast.
5. after about 4 days of not much bubbling I placed it in a secondary with the watermelon juice


any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

Regards from Australia

What were your gravity readings? In a two gallon batchbit is unlikely that you had a stuck fermentation, but always let your yeast take it's time, it doesn't know how many days it has been.
