After having a 21st Amendment Hell or High Watermelon I really wanted to clone that beer. I found a similar recipe and brewed it. Now, gathering 10-15 lbs of watermelon is expensive and very time consuming so I went with artificial flavoring. The Brewers best bottle I got recommends the entire 4oz bottle for a 5.5 gallon batch. To be on the safe side I started by putting half the bottle in, stirred it in and took a sample from both the top and bottom and the flavor is consistent and prominent and right where I want it. Question is will the flavor subside at all during bottle conditioning? If so, should the entire bottle be used?
