Hi Bubba:

I have a friend that does home brewing as well, and as long as its a slow thaw it should retain carbonation.  I notice that you only caught the malfunction due to the watermelon smell.  Watermelon beer sounds interesting, i'll have to recommend that one.........

TMC... thanks for the offer. I have a few sitting here, just need the time to install.

Jacko... I have been brewing this kit for a few years and its always a big hit. It doesn't have a strong watermelon flavor, but more of a refreshing aftertaste. http://www.williamsbrewing.com/WILLIAMS-WATERMELON-ALE-P1935C185.aspx

So far, most have been good still. I have a dozen of the watermelon batch that I put in the night before the freeze. There is no carbonation in the 2 that I have opened in those, but the level in those bottles has dropped quite a bit for some reason, but the other 18 or so from a batch that has been chilling for 2 weeks seems to have survived. I may try to revive them.. not sure if its worth the effort at this point. Unfortunately, without the carbonation, the watermelon seems to be almost undrinkable.

The problem is you just didn't drink them fast enough

I was supposed to be bringing a bunch to a party on the night I discovered popsicles..
