Notes: For the strawberry addition, I use strawberries that I pick fresh. I keep them frozen until I'm ready to add them.
When it's time for the addition, I remove them from freezer, cut off the tops and place them in a sanitized bucket. I then rack my crash-cooled beer to the bucket, place in refrigerator and wait a week or so.
I then rack straight to the keg and enjoy! |

Bottle Condition:
Original Gravity = 1.060 (aiming for ~7.88%abv)
Gravity after one week* = 1.022 (4.99% abv)
Gravity after two weeks** = 1.000 (7.88% abv)
Final Gravity = .998 (8.14% abv)
*Taste after one week: Still really sweet, w/ strong amounts of cranberry flavor -- maybe too much, and good, pink coloring. Very subtle ginger notes; mostly just an after-effect, and not really noticeable up-front. Still really cloudy. Fermenting really slowly, but is progressing. Clean overall taste, not much yeasty flavor. Apple flavor is sort of bland and just sweet; maybe needing more tannin from skins, and store bought juice isn't quite enough. Continued drying & aging should help clarify and sharpen the flavors. Aroma is pretty negligible.
**Taste after two weeks: The sweetness has nearly totally fermented out, w/ good alcoholic sharpness. Has a pretty strong ginger flavor; good pink coloring still (though pretty cloudy overall). Leaves the mouth feeling dry and puckered... Overall, rather dry and tart. Decent apple notes upfront, and then bitter after taste. The yeast is still present, and some aging should mellow that out. Still thinking that the overall apple tone is somewhat flat, and that additional apple tannins would help -- though I think the freshly juiced cranberries added the needed tannins, just not apple-y ones...
[Next time: 1) Just use pre-packaged cranberry juice... 2) Add in a few fresh squeezed / pressed apples for a more robust apple flavor, especially sharp flavored apples.]

Notes: so heres my watermelon berliner weisse recipe.
its pretty simple.
mash in and out as usually
but after mash out drop kettle temperature to 45 degrees and with a Ph reader check your Ph (should be at 4.8-5.0) if its higher use some 88% Lactic acid (sparingly) to drop your Ph.
once your Ph reading is right
pitch your ROOM TEMPERATURE lactobacillus (5335) cover with cling film and leave it. (mine took about 16 Hours) check it every 4 or so hours and do a Ph reading. Youre looking for somewhere around the 3.3-3.5 mark.
once pH level is right bring to a boil for 15 minutes and continue onwards like a normal brew (add hops, chill, pitch us-05, ferment)
once primary fermentation is finished rack onto frozen watermelon reduction*
and let sit for 8-10 days.
*watermelon reduction:(best to do this at least 3 day before racking into secondary) cut, and juice all of the flesh of the watermelon, place all of the juiced liquid and even pits of pulp into a pot and simmer until reduced by half then keep temperature above 88 degrees for 15 minutes. then place in a sterilized container and freeze until needed. |

Strike with 10 gallons at 170 to hit 157. Verify Mash PH is 5.2. Adjust if necessary with lactic acid. Sparge with 12 gallons at 165-170. Use a low attenuating yeast.
Pitch yeast at 60. Add 1vl for 2min of pure 02 prior to pitching. Ferment at 64. Raise to 65 degrees after a few days to clear diacytle.

Then remove 1/3 of mash with slotted spoon into a separate pot (first decoction) and heat to 155F for 15 min. Then heat decoction up to a boil (stirring regularly). Add first decoction back to main mash, bringing the combined temp to 152F for 20 min. Then remove 1/2 of mash (with liquid this time) into a separate pot (second decoction) and heat to boil. Then return decoction to main mash for a final rest at 165F for 10 min. |
