This is the first brew with a fansy smansy scale. So it should be easier to replicated properly in the future if it’s good. But after brewing I already want to remove some of the mint, lol.

While that was steeping pealed the lemon like an orange and cut pieces in half, also cut cucumber in slices. Brought the water to a boil added lemon pieces, cucumber, honey, and first hop addition. After 30 minutes added second hop addition. Cooled, put into the jug for fermenting, added activated yeast, swirled, added yeast nutrient. Capped with airlock, and now it’s time to wait.
