William's Brewing Kit - Watermellon

[iCeD00D]

Good day all my beer brothers/sisters! .. I'm kinda in a pickle .. It seems the wife 'cleaned' my office and desk where my paper instructions where and apparently they have disapeared.... On top of that the yeast is ready and so am I but without instructions.... Does anyone out there have the instructions they could PM me or post as a PDF file so I can print out a copy to have? .. it would be most appreciated.. Thanks..

Sounds kinda silly, but did you contact William's for the info?

 

[iCeD00D]

Yup and they are a M-F shop .. No weekend support .. though I might recommend that to them next time I talk to them.. Kinda suxs since I just found out about it this morning...so good for asuming that everything was ready

Ok...I can't help out with directions with a Williams kit. I've never ordered one. This is a great board, you'll get some help here for sure. I typed up my first response because I didn't see it in the OP.

Take care, good luck...RDWHAHB

Yup I see that already.... Plus reading some of the other posts def a good place for info... Tks again ..

Post the ingredients that you have in your kit. I bet we can figure it out from there.

 

[iCeD00D]

Captianoats -

1 - Bottle of clear solution (smells like mellon so I'm asuming a flavoring type of solution)
1 - Bag of malt
1 - Bag of priming sugar
1 - Bag of hops (KCH075)

I know about the boiling 1hr part but not sure when to put the hops in and the solution .. plus what the final gravity should be too ... Tks much

Going by what you listed, boil the malt with 2-3 gallons of water, add the hops at the beginning of the boil, I assume the whole bag because the watermelon wheat probably has no flavor or aroma additions. Cool when finished, put in fermenter, top up to 5 gallons, check temp and pitch yeast. Add the priming sugar and melon flavoring in the bottling bucket when you bottle.

This is similar to the Williams kit I brewed last year.
It is a standard extract technique, especially when considering the watermelon flavoring.

good luck!
