So I was recently gifted 4 watermelons that I wanted to use in a beer. My idea was to use 2 in the boil and 2 on secondary. I’m thinking an ipa/pale ale or hoppy wheat. I have heard that el Dorado hops are good with watermelons are there any other hops that play well with watermelon?
Maybe Huell Melon hops if you can get any.
Here’s one with Columbus and Magnum:
Cheers!
thanks
I happen to have a watermelon cider and a german pils dry hopped with Huell Melon on right now. I think the HM would be very complimentary with the watermelon but it just depends on what kind of beer you brew. El Dorado will be significantly more powerful so I would use that if you are going for IPA. If you do the wheat I would go with the huell or you could go with both at a 2:1 hm to el dorado
