Reduce the heat to simmer and add the lemon juice, then the cheese mixture in handfuls. Stir constantly in a figure-eight pattern with a wooden spoon, melting the cheese in batches. When the cheese has been incorporated fully, stir in the minced garlic and chopped roasted red pepper. Transfer the fondue to a fondue pot and serve.
