Just brewed a split batch this weekend. This was of of them. Took a pic right after I pitched, turned out pretty cool so I thought I’d share:
Looks like it will be hot!
I had asked a couple weeks ago about Habaneros in beer. My understanding you would only need a couple chopped Habaneros. That looks like a whole lot!
Haha! I know. It’s going to be VERY hot. To be honest, this beer isn’t for me. My roommate is the pepper head and nothing is ever hot enough. I decided to prove him wrong, not with a hot sauce, but with a beer. Also, every pepper beer I’ve ever had hasn’t had much spice to it, so I wanted to kick it up. Total experimental beer though. The other half of this split batch is a strawberry wheat for my girlfriend. I’ll let you know how it turns out. Might be the least sessionable beer in history due to the heat!
Look - Even the yeast are scared of the peppers!
Just siphoned over to the secondary a bit early to get it off the peppers. It’s definitely spicy, but not like you’d think. Yeast is still kicking strong too! I soaked the habaneros in vodka on brewday. The vodka shots afterward were VERY hot, I’m thinking this may have stolen a lot of the heat, for better or worse. Time will tell! The raspberries are coming through nicely too.
I very interested in this brew and how it turns out. I am going to make a Habanero IPA very soon. I want it to be drinkable by spicy food people. My friends are all waiting for my habanero beer after I made my “Habanero Handbook” cookbook.
OP : Give your roommate a link to my cookbook
