I'm thinking of making a nice summer drink, curious whether any one has brewed with either lime or mint and if so can I steal your recipe or would someone be so kind and give me a rough idea where to start?
Cheers

Ordered 50g of Perle & Sorachi Ace along with 100g of Galena. Just need to figure out a schedule for these and I can order plenty of fresh mint and limes through work.
Looking forward to the outcome!
Anyone have an idea on amounts and timing for the hops?
Amount: plenty
Timing: late and dry hop
You’re going to get the flavours you want from the hop oils so you don’t want to be boiling them. It’s a bit of an experiment so I can’t really offer up much by way of specific advice but as a general principal that’s how I’d go about it.
Just finished bottling now, tastes lovely already!
Maybe a 50g for the first addition of mint next time!
Ended up with 19l in the fermenter.
Recipe as follows,
3kg Golden Promise
700g Marris Otter
300g Munich
69c Mash for 60min

10g Perle, 10g Sorachi Ace, 20g Galena & 6 Limes halfed and squeezed straight into the boil - 5 mins
20g Perle, 10g Sorachi Ace, 30g Galena & 100g of fresh mint (inc stalks) - Steeped @ 80c for 30min
