Extract recipe
6.6 lbs Gold Malt Extract
2.0 lbs Dry Gold Malt
1/2 lb Crystal
1/4 lb Carapils 40L
3 oz Willamette bittering hops
1 oz Saaz aroma hops
6 large Jalapeno peppers, seeded and cut lengthwise
4 small red chile peppers, seeded and cut lengthwise
Ale yeast
This was my first attempt to make a chile pepper beer, and if you like
Jalapeno peppers it is a great beer. There are a lot of hops in the boil
but it is needed to overcome the chile aroma.
Steep the grains for 25 mins @ 160 degrees in 1.5 gallons of water.
Add extract and dry malt. Bring to boil and add Williamette hops, boil
for 60 minutes. Add Saaz hops last 5 minutes of boil. Add Ale yeast
when cooled. Let ferment as normal and when it is ready to bottle, add
peppers. I left mine in for two days, but leave it in longer if you like it
spicy. Next time I think I will leave in some of the seeds to make it hotter.
Carbonate with 3/4 cup corn sugar.
