Watermelon Sour IPA

I enjoy a nice sour IPA with watermelon juice added to the beer.  What can I say?  Not long ago, I sanitized a storage container and saved off some fresh juice from some watermelon we had...the horses seem to enjoy it as much as we do.  I froze the juice to kill any bugs in it...

Brew Day: 12 Jul 2019

Partial Mash:
8 oz 2-row malt
2 oz flaked wheat

Boil #1 (20 min):
1 lb golden light DME
4 oz table sugar

Add the wort to a sanitized fermenter, racking it on to 2 Good Belly Straight Shots, then place the fermenter on a warming plate for ~72 hrs.  Preserve any additional wort in sanitized containers to be added back during the second boil.

Boil #2 (20 min): 15 Jul

Hops:
14 g Huell Melon (FWH)
1 oz Mosaic (@ 20 min, 10 min rest)
14 g Huell Melon (dry hop)

Yeast: US-05

Addendum, 28 Jul: Dry hopped, and added 12 oz watermelon juice (frozen, raised to room temp via water bath)

Addendum, 1 Aug: Bottled tonight, got 7 good bottles and two re-purposed soda bottles.
