Hello to all,
I wanted to brew a beer my wife would enjoy. She loves 21st Amendment's watermelon wheat. I pretty much followed the clone recipe (see below). The end result was the flavor was good (could taste watermelon) but the aroma was off. It almost had a vegital smell or the smell of only the watermelon rind. I did not use any rind though just the pulp which I pureed. I did however buy a watermelon with the seeds which I pureed. I did use a cheese cloth to strain as well. My question is do you think pureeing the seeds along with the pulp contributed to this aroma?
6 lbs Pale Malt 2 row
5 lbs White Wheat
.8 oz of Vienna
.25 oz Columbus (60 min)
.5 oz Magnum (10 min)
Note - added puree into secondary for 7 days
