Notes: This was my first all grain that I did and then I repeated it with my neighbor's hops. It came out great and he wanted me to brew him a batch, so that is when I entered this into Brewers Friend.

This is my fifth time using this basic recipe. I only changed the recipe today to update the brand of the malt that I purchased.

The recipe is for 45 minute infusion mash at 154, but I ended up doing 60 minutes as well as a mash out for 10 minutes at 170 degrees. Hops are from a friend and a 50/50 blend of Centennial (9.5% aa) and Cascade (6% aa) estimated. These are leaf hops and each jar contains about 1.7 ounces of hops. Average 7.75% aa. I am also going to do a 60 minute boil rather than 90 minute.

Notes: Mixing the two recipes found in the thread.
Added some crystal 10-15L to mix.

Essentially adding 12 lbs of watermelon flesh into secondary after blending and filters. Will likely bleach the exterior of the fruit and clean the cutting board, knife and food processor parts with iodophor before blending. Crushed the flesh in a nylon mesh bag (also santized).
Did 10 gallon batch in a 10 gallon kettle and just topped up with water as I boiled. Not much boiloff because I couldn't do a full rolling boil.

I created a reddit post with many photos.

Bottle conditioning, but initial taste has a powerful but not overpowering watermelon flavor. Would highly recommend a locally grown seeded watermelon at peak maturity for maximum watermelon flavor. Do not blend the seeds up with the flesh though... would give you some very strong "green" notes.

From thread:

I decided to not use the watermelon extract that came with the kit and opted for real watermelon instead. I chose the Wyeast 1010 American Wheat yeast option.
Let the primary fermentation process go the full 2 weeks.

For secondary fermentation, I bought a seedless watermelon at the store and put all the watermelon meat into a ninja blender. I did not use any of the rind at all since my research indicated that using the rind may cause an undesirable flavor. I pureed all the watermelon and threw it in the bottom of my bottling bucket. I then racked the fermented beer on top of the watermelon puree. I also chose to NOT boil the puree before adding it to the bucket. I read that boiling watermelon could also cause some really nasty flavors and aromas.

Did everything turn very red??? YES. Did that go away??? YES! The sugars in the watermelon kicked off a secondary fermentation. I let the watermelon/beer mixture ferment for another 5 days. I probably could have gone 7, but did not want to run any risk of the fruit turning into a vinegar taste. On the 5th day, I kegged the beer and chilled it for 24 hours before force carbonating.

Every time I transferred the beer (primary to secondary, secondary to keg), I ran the beer through a sanitized colander. The result was SPECTACULAR. My neighbors and I did a blind taste test with my beer and some Hell or High Watermelon, and my beer blew away the competition. I was concerned that using the real fruit would make the beer too sweet or have an overpowering watermelon taste. Totally not the case at all. The watermelon flavor is subtle. It was described as a great wheat beer taste with a nice watermelon undertone. Now that the weather here in DC has hit the 80's and low 90's, this beer is a great drink on a hot day!

Could sub California Ale Yeast White Labs WLP001 for 1010

Notes: Went to Edisonian to pick up Grain and it was closed. Went to Libation Station and had to use Pale as the Base instead of Marris Otter.

Also changed the Hops and the quantity to use up some leftovers.

Had to use a different Yeast as well, Empire Ale instead of Wyeast Scottish Ale.

Cold Smoked 26oz of Pale for an hour with Pecan Wood.

Named Zwolf because this means 12 in German and that is how much everything cost me at Libation due to the Owner giving me an excellent deal!

Notes: 1. In your kettle, heat 3 gallons of water to 155 F
2. Carefully add your Dry Malt Extract (DME), stirring to avoid clumps
3. Bring your wort (malt liquid) to a boil
4. When the wort is at full boil, start a 60 minute timer and add 2oz Tettnang hops to the boil
5. After 60 minutes, turn off heat and cool (in sink or otherwise)
6. Pour 2.5 gallons cold water into your fermentation vessel, add hot wort and cool until about 70 F
7. Use your hydrometer to find your original gravity and record
8. Pitch your yeast and place airlock (and lid) on your fermentation vessel.
9. When signs of fermentation cease, after at least 14 days, rack your beer into your bottling bucket.
10. Add 5 oz priming sugar to 1 cup water and bring to a simmer. Allow to cool some, then add to bottling bucket. Stir gently with sanitized bottling wand.
11. Fill bottles and cap.
12. Store bottles at room temperature for 14 days.
13. Refrigerate overnight
14. Enjoy!!!

Notes: Adapted from homebrew conned recipe. Still going to sparge so efficiency doesn't suck. Malcolm report 60% brewhouse efficiency.

Bumped up the grain bill in case the efficiency is super low.

Notes: Put the pumpkin in a brew bag for the entire boil. Stir the brown sugar into the boil. All other spices go in at flame out.

Tasting note: Way too much cinnamon, needed to blend with my Amber Ale make it palatable.

♦ SESSION NOTES: Missed the Weyermann Rauch Malt step. Will have it for next brew session. steep no longer than 30 minutes @ 2-4 oz max. Needs to be a fresh as possible.
