I can't stand that fake watermelon flavor..that is why I love this recipe so much since you use actual watermelon juice instead of the fake stuff. Adding watermelon jolly ranchers seems to defeat the purpose of using fresh watermelon juice IMO. Different strokes though.
good luck
Great recipe....did this last year and the keg disappeared in one party. One critique was that there was some tartness.
Question: I followed the latest recipe when I brewed it last year, using 6 cups of watermelon juice in the secondary. Of course, there was some additional fermentation when the juice was in the secondary, which I think led to some tartness in the final product. In order to get some of the sweetness back this year, could I add a few campden tablets to the secondary to kill off the yeast and retain the watermelon sweetness?
Has anyone tried this and what was your result?
Thanks by the way - this beer tastes amazing. My mother is anti beer drinker and I stopped to see my parents on Saturday and drop off my kids. I cracked a beer at 10 am (so my father could taste) and after getting yelled at for drinking beer,especially at 10 am my mother polished off half a beer and said "wow Todd that's really good...refreshing and different"
Cheers and thanks!!!
So I want to brew this soon and was looking at Austin homebrew for ingredients and don't see German wheat malt. The options are red wheat or white wheat or they also have German kolsch malt, what would the best option be?
I'm working on my second watermelon wheat because I ruin the first batch by adding way too many hops. After triple checking all the ingredients I know I've done it right and it's been about three days in the primary fermentation and the krausen is starting to dissipate. I took a gravity reading and it is at 1.028. I'm going to take another reading tomorrow but it looks like the foam head is going to be entirely gone tomorrow. Should I add the watermelon and place it in the secondary carboy?
Hello, this recipe looks great, thanks! I was wondering when the honey is added and if the watermelon juice is added at the beginning of the full two weeks in the secondary? Thanks

njale said:if the beer is at 80F, and started bubbling again as soon as i added the watermelon juice...do you think 24 hours is long enough before bottling? i'm not taking FG readings
I have my babies bottled and ready to go. I'm getting antsy and was wondering if 2 days if enough before I can drink it? Any thoughts on it.. It's been bottled since sunday the 30th.
