packaged and tasted. Really nice tropical notes up front, but the somewhat bracing bitterness is still a bit too much. Will dial it closer to 1:1 by delaying the hop addition further (30 -> 20 min). Should reduce utilization further and boost good fruity notes from the nelson. Recipe updated 2024-03-03.
2024-02-10
Switching back to BRY97 and because this beer is bracingly bitter I thought I would balance the BU/GU a bit more. Adjusting IBU from 75 to 65. This would put it 10 units above the GU of about 1.055. Really like the flavor of this one, but hoping for a bit more balance on it.
I think Lutra has a tendency to leave behind a bit more so it was beneficial to have it last time, but BRY97 and a closer BU/GU should do the same thing.
Also, adding 4 g of ascorbic acid to the mash for antioxidation purposes. https://www.homebrewtalk.com/threads/vitamin-c-the-game-changer.698328/ for reference. Due to us canning, we're looking for any anti-oxidative protection we can get.
Initially made from a Love2Brew Kit.
Made with BRY97 the first time, but don't have it on hand. Using Lutra dry yeast from Omega @ 72ºF. Originally called for BRY-97 at 68ºF. Lutra is expected to attenuate a bit more so ABV might be higher. Also do not have American pils around so using Wey Floor Pils.

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: This is supposed to be a somewhat strong, ultra-creamy NEIPA with light bitterness (although more than the 0 IBUs might suggest...) and a fruity, floral flavor and aroma. This beer is inspired by the state of Maine and everything that is great about the Portland scene. I love you Lone Pine, Bunker, Foundation, Peak Organic, Liquid Riot, Mast Landing, Rising Tide, and even Bissell (though I don't like to admit it). I fucking love you all.
Using the no sparge method mostly because my kitchen setup makes a sparge difficult, not because I think there is something to be gained from not sparging. In fact, I probably would sparge this if I could. If you're looking to sparge, decrease the grain bill by a quarter - i.e. multiply all of the grain ingredients by 0.75 to get to your grain bill.
Likewise, the only reason why I'm brewing a small batch is because I don't have much space. If I had more space, I'd brew larger batches. |

Notes: spices, moss, and 2oz orange goes in at 10 minutes. 1oz orange goes in at 1min.
mashed this at 150, fly sparge, 90 minute boil. This one didn't get bottled until 10/22/12... A long time in the carboy, but it dried out amazingly! Smells awesome bottling... Labeled it as: 4 month funk: dark saison.
this one goes down smooth! pours a deep amber/brown with thick head that dwindles down to half a finger. the aroma is peppery with hints of orange. taste is complex - spices, less peppery than the smell though, toffee, malty, very rich. very smooth and drinkable. |
