Brett IPA. Could have more carbonation, and some more bitterness but otherwise I'm happy for a first attempt. Funk isn't huge but it's there. Next one I'll up bitterness and late hops. Way more late hops. Because hops
 
more carbonation? judging from all the bubbles, it looks like it is plenty well carbonated; but it could use a foamy head. that one is a bit thin.
 
I just knocked off work and I think this might be the hottest muggiest night yet this summer. A perfect time to try my first glass of my new Watermelon Weiss.

She's still a bit young but very refreshing. The watermelon is very present but not over-powering. A hit of clove on the back of the tongue is quite complimentary too. Hints of lime and mint - I'm very happy with this one.

My first successful fruit beer at last! If/when I do it again I might try it on US-05 or S-23 to see how it turns out on a more neutral yeast...
 
What yeast did you use this time? How did you include watermelon?
 
I pitched onto a yeast cake of Wyeast 3068 - Weihenstephan Weizen which may or may not have been a bit rash (it blew out the airlock on day 3 :blink: ).

As for the watermelon; I added about 3.5 liters of puree I made myself at home by chopping up watermelon and blitzing it with a stick blender. It was one and a half medium sized watermelons in all. I added the puree at 25min before flameout along with some mint and lime zest. The recipe is >>here<< if you're interested...

Sneaky "sample" of my Lupulin Addiction IPA while the roast is cooking.

8% with 380g hops as late additions and 310g dry hop additions. Mix of Simcoe, Cascade, Chinook, Columbus and Centennial.

Gladdy American Ale malt base with a dash of light crystals and wheat.

Danger Zone.

Edit: Oh, right... Absofuckenlutley decadent. Resiny, piney-orange aroma explosion.
