| Notes: the dme and candi will be added after 45 mins to keep boil gravity down and bring the IBU up to 30. Pitched yeast at 72 degees,maintained at 68 for 24 hours then temp increased to 80 as fermentation became more vigorous. Put in 60deg garage to help it cool back down overight. Cooling worked too well, stopped fermenting, warming to 70 to try and get it going again. well without a starter still got 77% att, so not bad. Tastes great already after 2 weks in the bottle. chocolate malt reduced to 4oz |

Notes: Revisiting this recipe after a few years. Going with a slightly malty water profile to boost sweetness perception. Adding a bit more citric acid and getting the pH down to 5.2 to give it a bit more sharpness. The citric acid is not 5%, it's powdered so it should be 100% or very near it with some sort of anti-caking agent (cornstarch if anything).
Mixing the two recipes found in the thread.
Added some crystal 10-15L to mix (this is nice as it adds residual sweetness to the beer, which balances the watermelon flavor well.
Add watermelon juice in primary vessel post krausen.
To make watermelon juice. Put whole watermelon fruit into bleach solution to sanitize the outside. Starsan a chopping board, large bowl, knife, and brew bag. Chop up fruit to remove peel and add to bag in the bowl. Bleach/Starsan/iodophor your hands and squeeze the flesh through the bag into the bowl to get juice. Add 2 liters of juice (about 1/2 gallon) to 5 gallons (1 gallon total for two 5 gallon carboys).
This gives a strong watermelon flavor when using a seeded, fully ripe watermelon. If you like watermelon only a little bit, I would cut it by half. I like watermelon a lot so I wanted it front and center. This one goes over very well during the late summer.
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!

Notes: Pressed enough apples for 10 gallons of cider. Apples came from my dad's summer culinary tree and summer crab apple tree. I tried to mix apples evenly before pressing.
- add crushed campden tablets 24 hours prior to yeast pitch.
- add pectic enzyme when adding campden tablets
- Rehydrate yeast with about 1/4 cup of water that has been boiled with go form. Use an ice bath to cool the solution down before adding yeast. Let yeast rehydrate for thirty mins before pitching into cider.
- After fermentation has started, add hydrated fermaid o with about 1/8 to 1/4 cup cooled water (with chlorine removed).
Oxygenated cider with pure O2 for 1min 10 sec.
Yeast:
Red Star Premier Blanc in 5 gal - 1.048 OG
Mangrove Jack M02 in 5 gal - 1.05 OG
Apples gathered on 8/25/2018
Cider pressed on 8/26/2018
Packaging - Kegging ONLY
NOTE: These steps must be followed in order. If metabisulfite is added after sorbate then chemical reactions can occur that will give the cider a 'geranium' off flavor.
- add 1/4 tsp potassium metabisulfite to 5 gal of cider to inhibit yeast and bacterial growth.
- Wait at least 12 hours.
- add 2-1/2 tsp potassium sorbate to 5 gal of cider to halt fermentation.
- Wait at least 24 hours. 48 hours is ideal.
- Transfer cider to a keg.
- Purge oxygen from headspace.
- Remove a sample of cider and add apple juice concentrate until you're happy with the flavor.
- Take a gravity reading of the cider sample, then dose the main batch until the gravity readings match. Err on the side of too little.
- carbonate to desired levels
Very good read on backsweetening -

8/23/2019 tasting notes:
I tasted and back-sweetened the ciders today. The preference of my wife and I was the champagne yeast batch. The champagne yeast batch had a dry champagne quality that we both enjoyed; it was smoother too. The mangrove jack batch was nice an clean, with a slight bitterness on the backend. Both finished at 0.994. I tend to like my cider on the dryer side, but not bone dry. I back-sweetened the mangrove jack cider to 1.002 and the champagne yeast cider to .999 with frozen apple juice concentrate from the grocery store. I decided to backsweeten the mangrove jack batch a little more to help balance out the bitterness; it seemed to do the trick. No additional tannins or acidity were required. The crab apples did a great job of adding the acidity the cider needed.
The mangrove jack cider was slightly more bitter than the champagne batch, this is probably due to the ratio of crab apples to culinary apples. The champagne batch was obviously darker than the mangrove jack. This could be due to oxidation or the ratio of apples. The cider carboy was less full, while the mangrove jack carboy was filled to the brim, so oxidation could certainly be a factor. However, campden tablets are supposed to help with oxidation, both batches certainly had a decent amount of campden tablets added to halt the yeast. I'm used to oxidation flavors in beer, I don't get those stale flavors from the champagne batch. The fact that my wife and I prefer the champagne batch would indicate that it's probably not oxidized. Time will tell, I'll update this if it starts to exibit oxidation flavors.
