Notes

5 large cucumbers. Peel, slice, freeze for two days. Then thaw, puree, strain, and add straight to keg. Ferment in low 70s.

Batch 1 November 19. Too cucumbery. Will try 2-3 in next batch

Batch 2 4/26/20. Mashed at 150-151. Pre-boil 1.040@100=1.046. Subbed Nelson-Sauvin for Wakatu. Color lighter than last time. Still kinda coppery.
OG = 1.055@78= 1.057
Still bubbling at 3 weeks. FG=1.002 @68 = 1.003. And still bubbling every 5-6 secs.
Went ahead and kegged with 3 cukes.
