added a watermelon tip from Bob Sylvester
* Tamarind - Provides an umami flavor that some people might not like <ref name="MTF_Thread"></ref>.
* Vanilla Fruit (Beans/Extract) - Organic/natural recommended for extract. Start at 1 teaspoon per 5 gallons of beer, and add more to taste. For whole beans, cut long ways and scrape out the insides, add entire bean. Balances well with acidity, and some have reported that it adds some mouthfeel to ''Brettanomyces'' based beers <ref name="vanilla1" />.
* Watermelon - Watermelon flavor can be difficult to achieve. Jeffrey Airman of Paradox Brewing Co. uses fresh watermelon with the rind, and supplements with a lot of juice <ref>[https://www.facebook.com/groups/MilkTheFunk/permalink/1319161031445441/?comment_id=1320771934617684&comment_tracking=%7B%22tn%22%3A%22R%22%7D Conversation with Jeffrey Airman on watermelon use. 06/03/2016.]</ref>. Steph Cope of CraftHaus Brewing Co used 10 large watermelons/3bbls of kettle soured gose. An immersion blender was used to pulverize; it took a long time for that much watermelon to drop clear, and low yield (but strong watermelon flavor) <ref>[https://www.facebook.com/groups/MilkTheFunk/permalink/1319161031445441/?comment_id=1321109187917292&reply_comment_id=1321123104582567&comment_tracking=%7B%22tn%22%3A%22R7%22%7D Conversation with Steph Cope on watermelon usage. 06/03/2016.]</ref>. Thomas Morley recommends that the watermelon pulp be filtered out to avoid the cloudiness issues (Jester King uses a press <ref name="jester_king_watermelon">[http://jesterkingbrewery.com/introducing-jester-king-hibernal-dichotomous "Introducing Jester King Hibernal Dichotomous". Jester King's Blog. Retrieved 11/13/2016.] </ref>) <ref name="Morley_Watermelon"></ref>. James Sites advises juicing the watermelon, then reducing it to remove the water content <ref>[https://www.facebook.com/groups/MilkTheFunk/permalink/1167993543228858/?comment_id=1299959520032259&reply_comment_id=1299960816698796&comment_tracking=%7B%22tn%22%3A%22R9%22%7D Conversation with James Sites on watermelon usage. 05/06/2016.]</ref>. Bob Sylvester advises using an "overwhelming amount" of watermelon, and using some of the rind to bolster the flavor <ref>[https://www.facebook.com/groups/MilkTheFunk/permalink/1631768653518009/?comment_id=1632576180103923&comment_tracking=%7B%22tn%22%3A%22R%22%7D Sylvester, Bob.

* Yuzu - Juice form can be very strong. Taste first. Start with 1 ounce per gallon, and add more to taste <ref name="yuzu"></ref>.
