I have had a request for a Jalapeno or chili flavored beer for a friends B-day the end of summer. I wanted to check with the group here to see if anyone has a tried and tasted recipe that they would like to share.
I'm thinking pretty light or possibly red ale or possibly a lager with Jalapenos or chilis in the secondary?

Here's my recipe for my experimental Chocolate Mole Porter......It needs more mellowing time, It uses my home made chili Powder and cayenne pepper...It has a noticeable burn and also causes a bit of heartburn...
Next time I brew it though I am going to reduce the Lactose to about an ounce and up the chocolate disks...

I recently brewed a Porter (AHS's London Porter mini mash kit) and added about 6 or 7 (I think) ancho chilis (dried) at flameout and removed once the wort was cooled. I just opened my first bottle last night after a few weeks of bottle conditioning/carbonating and it was missing much of the chili flavor. I'm thinking it may come back a bit after some aging because when I took a wee taste when bottling, it had the distinct raisin-y, mild heat, slightly smoky ancho chili flavor and scent.
Next time I would add a bit more chili at flame out (esp if using a low heat chili like the ancho). I wasn't really looking for heat, moreso the chili flavor. Another thing I would try is when taking a sample in the fermenter to add a chili-steeped-tea if it seems the chili flavor is not dominant enough.
Brews typically mellow out over time with aging so I would suggest, IMHO, to add a bit more chili than you would initially think.
I'll post the recipe when I'm in front of my brew-laptop later this evening.
