Hi David, I have a few questions. I'm thinking about altering this to make a watermelon wheat. Due to the less intense flavor compared to raspberries, I was thinking about using flavor extract in addition to real fruit, do you have an opinion on this? Either way how much fruit and/or extract should I use for a 5 gallon batch. Second, would pure store bought 100% watermelon juice with no other added ingredients work as well as fresh fruit, though probably without the color? Lastly, do you have a more guidance on water profiles? I use bottled drinking water since my tap water is unpleasant and don't know how to start since I don't know what mineral content it already has. Is this a necessary step and how can I determine what it needs? Do you use distilled water and adjust it from there? A bit more information, I'm in America and have use a 110v Grainfather where I have made 14 batches in the last year with very enjoyable results. Cheers! And thank you for what you do.

Hi Ken. Ive never used watermelon but a flavour extract could certainly work well when used with a suitable amount. Best to make small samples first and then upscale.

No, I decided to make this one more simple and to show a different way to go. Nice to mix it up. Naturally you can still do this to maximise if you wish.

Does taking the beer off the yeast before adding the fruit not cause some off flavours? I would have thought that due to the lack of yeast, you would end up with off flavours from the second fermentation.

The viable yeast is still in suspension within the wort. What is left is trub, this does not cause off flavours, quite the opposite.

Would it be worth adding the fruit to the keg for a few days once cold instead? I can only get my fermenter to 17c in the heat of the summer, even that’s a push. Need a glycol chiller

You will need higher temps so that it can ferment though.

@@DavidHeathHomebrew of course, I meant what would happen if I didn’t allow the fruit to ferment by adding after primary fermentation at a lower temp. Cheers David

I see. The result with no be very good. You really want to ferment the fruit for the best result.

Why not fill the clean hopbag with the frozen fruit and let them defrost in a clean and locked container ? Because that minimise the contact with the fruit. Also you haven't got the small bits in your fermentor.

Mine is 19L. If you use the link above the you can scale it to 20L in 30 seconds but remember you need to set your own equipment and the values of the hops you are using.

😳 I am surprise you don't use liquid yeast anymore. Why? Too expensive? Need a starter if not enough yeast cells per pack?

@DavidHeathHomebrew

Basically because I can get just as good results from dry yeast without the extra cost and time.

No, not these days with modern malts.If you want those extra flavours then various maltsters have options.Not that this would be a good choice for a fruit version though of course.

Yes true though not so many are going this way anymore. The use of Belgian yeast and perhaps some speciality grains can be enough :)
