I made an experimental beer last Sunday using 2-row domestic, and red wheat with some flaked rice. I pureed about a gallon of seedless watermelon and dumped that into the primary. I used white labs american hefeweizen yeast and just 1 oz of hallertauer for bittering. the wort was really light in color (almost barely yellow) and got me pretty nervous thinking I messed something up. I was just messing around so I didn't even take a hydrometer reading. After putting in the watermelon slush, it turned a pinkish yellow color and started fermenting pretty actively after about 7 hours. Im not taking it TOO seriously so I wont paste the actual recipe I used here until after it is done. If it turns out well I will post it for other people to try and improve on.
