Looking to brew a watermelon wheat. Anyone know of one I could try that is available to buy in MI?
I have never had it, but Oddside Ales has a Watermelon Wheat:

I think they used to call their watermelon wheat "Wheatermelon".
I've been curious about brewing one of these as well, but never having had one, I've been loathe to brew one up. I might have to make it a point to try and find some myself and see if I like it.
Nice. It's what I'm looking for. Do you think the bottle it? I'll have to ask around, otherwise I may be making a special trip to Grand haven.
I've only had one (good) commercial watermelon wheat. That was 21st Amendment's "Hell or High Water(melon)" or something like that. I've never seen one for sale locally, I don't think.
I made one that was very good, though!
4 lbs Wheat Malt, Bel (2.0 SRM) 43.2 %
3 lbs Pale Malt (2 Row) US (2.0 SRM) 32.4 %
4.0 oz Honey Malt (25.0 SRM) 2.7 %
1.25 oz Crystal [3.00 %] - Boil 60.0 min Hop 4 12.6 IBUs
1.00 oz Crystal [3.00 %] - Boil 20.0 min Hop 5 6.1 IBUs
1.00 oz Crystal [3.00 %] - Steep/Whirlpool 0.0 min Hop 6 0.0 IBUs
2 lbs Honey (1.0 SRM) 21.6 %
2.50 Cup Watermelon Juice (Secondary 10.0 days) (One whole medium watermelon, deseeded and pureed in a blender)

Yes! this is the recipe that I'm interested in making. I may just bite the bullet and make it
I'll send you some lead-free water if you send a couple bottles back to me!
I knew of that one, but I don't think I've seen their beers in this state.
If I didn't already have too many beers to brew I'd just do an experimental small batch and see how it turns out.
Wait, Yooper, I didn't think you liked wheat beers!
Was there a lot of color imparted from the watermelon juice?
My wife loves the 21a beer, and your recipe is intriguing...

OP, if you want a can of 21st watermelon PM me your address and I'l get one out to you if you don't get it. We get it in Ohio and I have plenty.
That'd be awesome. I may just take you up on it. Maybe could trade. I'm going to call a few craft brew stores near me first.

What's your mash temp?
We brewed the Brewers Best watermelon wheat kit yesterday. Picked the kit up at a Red Salamander in Grand Ledge.
