WARNING: Kettle losses > 2% detected which throw off OG calculation for extract/partial mash recipes in batch target 'fermentor' mode. Solution: Reduce kettle losses, misc losses and hops absorption in equipment profile, OR set batch target to 'kettle' and do a full wort boil. See batch target FAQ.

Notes

Steep grains at 155F for 20 min in 2.5 gallons of water.

Flame out and add 0.75 oz of Amarillo hops. After about 5 minutes begin chilling wort. Siphon to fermenter. Collect sample for hydrometer. Add enough water to achieve OG 1046 to 1051.
Aerate wort.
Pitch yeast, secure lid, set airlock and move to temp stable area. After fermentation is complete, move to secondary fermenter or go ahead and bottle.
Prior to bottling, mix 5 oz of priming sugar into 2 cups of boiling water, mix well then add 4 oz of watermelon natural flavoring. Stir to incorporate into the hot liquid. Cool to room temperature. Dump primer and flavoring mix into a clean bottling bucket. Transfer beer from fermenter to bucket and bottle as normal. Bottle condition for at least 2 weeks.
