This was the second time brewing my watermelon wheat recipe and first time kegging it. I brewed it previously, to rave reviews I might add, and bottled it. My original recipe added the watermelon candy oil into a secondary after 10-14 days of primary fermentation. I found that the the watermelon flavor was too strong going right to the keg this time and it needed about a month to mellow in the keg. In the next batch, I will add the flavoring at pitching to see if it makes a difference. I used my CB20 system for this brew day.
