Notes

Once primary fermentation completes, give 1-2 day diacetyl rest. During this time, chop up a whole seedless watermelon into cubes and freeze for 1-2 days. This will pasteurize the watermelon. Defrost and beat watermelon to a chunky pulp. Pour into primary or place in bottom of secondary and rack beer on top, then cold crash for 1-2 days. My spigot clogged on me with watermelon chunks so I had to use a racking cane to the keg. Package, carbonate, and serve!
