Simulating watermelon

I saw who the OP was and misread the title as Stimulating watermelon.

I had a watermelon Jolly Rancher at work and started laughing. I was not about to catch my coworkers up to speed on the lunacy so I just played it off like I'm going nuts.

I don't know how to tell you this, but there is no watermelon in watermelon Jolly Ranchers. They probably switched the candies on you, to make you THINK you had watermelon.

NO!! That just can't be. It says it right on the package - clear as day 'watermelon'. Do you think they just added a secret blend of hops that simulate the flavor of watermelon along with the psychological effect of the watermelon branding?

I bet ol’ smell can “dry jolly” his beer to get a watermelon flavor!!

I'm surprised the caterer is agreeing to it. They presumably signed a contract and received payment, in my experience those things are spelled out to the last detail. To break that and then actually refund the money to you sounds pretty sketchy. Unless you guys are all buddies and this is sort of a casual arrangement.

If it was my daughter's wedding I'd fire the caterer if they pulled something like this and I found out about it before the wedding. I definitely would dispute the bill and give them terrible yelp/google/facebook reviews. I would also question the friendship status of someone who would go behind my back and brew for a wedding when I specifically asked them not to.

I have two daughters though neither are married however both my younger brother's daughters are getting married this year and I've talked to him extensively about the planning trying to get tips should mine follow suit. I know with 100% certainty that he and his wife would blow a gasket if a caterer pulled a stunt like this. **** storm would be putting it mildly.

The other thing to keep in mind that it’s illegal for hired bartenders to serve homebrew if it’s a place with a liquor license and that the venue AND the caterer are liable to lose their liquor licenses if found serving untaxed beer at a venue.

Not only will the groom, bridezilla, the caterer and the bartenders be furious, at least two liquor licenses are on the line here.

I see major fireworks here, especially since the OP, who has been brewing for 6 whole months now and makes better beer than 21st Amendment (snarf) is going to “surprise” them! I can’t wait.

I’d like to meet Mel just to see if he’s real.

If you are ever in Cave Creek AZ Mel, please contact me on here and I’ll buy you a beer.

Yay smell, glad to see some new work. I would keep the porch out of the wedding brew. Just sayin. That said, dont pumpkin beers call themselves pumpkin beers even though many only have "simulated" spices. If it tastes like watermelon, right on. I happen to love watermelon beers. I only went to one Great American Brew Fest and there was a San Francisco Co-op that had a watermelon beer that was incredible. Freezing the concentrate and letting it drip is pretty great advice. Otherwise I would think you would rack the beer into a secondary with a massive amount of watermelon. Add a pinch of watermelon extract to I would think.

Wedding cake beer would be awesome. Definite step up from cupcakes.

 

[Jayjay1976]

I'm also doubting the existence of a commercial bakery dedicated solely to the manufacture of cupcakes. Seems far too narrow a product offering in an out-of-the-way place like Montana to support a successful business.

And all froot loops are the same flavor! Can ANYONE be trusted?

 

[Funkychef]

I smell weird threads are the best. I do enjoy a good laugh.

You just ruined half my childhood.

Fruity Pebbles are also all the same flavor. There goes the other half!

I think scotch ale has a strawberry flavor.

I was just about to say the exact same thing.

There goes Mell, stimulating watermelons again. He filters out the seeds with his custom septic tank leach line.

 

[Funkychef]

I like that he brew it last Wednesday. So judging by the dates he has gone grain to glass In 6 days.

I wonder if Kato is the “friend” who’s getting married?
