I have attempted to make some watermelon wine . I started on 9-14 where I mashed up 6 seedless watermelons put them in a mesh bag in a 6 gallon bucket with wine tannin, pectic enzyme, yeast nutrient, sugar, acid blend and 6 campden tablets. I let the must set for 24 hours prior to adding the yeast. I stirred every day until the sg was .990 or below. This reading was taken Thursaday 9-22. Since it was going to be three days later or so before I received my filtration system, pulled the mesh bag out and added 6 campden tablets and potassium sorbate. It has been setting with an airlock for about three days now undisturbed and my filter system should be here today Will this work or should or do I need to do something else? I only added the campden tablets and potassium sorbate early because the must smelled kind of funny to me but it may be normal. I have heard that watermelon must can go bad on you quick.
