Notes

grind 2.5 oz dried hibiscus flower, place in jar and add unflavored 80 proof vodka until flowers are covered. Allow tincture to soak for 2 weeks while beer is fermenting

Just before kegging the beer peel 2 cucumbers, puree in blender, strain liquid into the jar of hibiscus tincture. Let sit for 10 minutes to ensure alcohol kills all bacteria.

Strain the hibiscus out of the tincture, add to keg, let keg sit for 2-3 days before carbonating.
