Default Further Mad Science. Talk Me Out of It?

As some of you probably know, I am not a scientist. I wear a sleeping cap with a tassle while I brew and I am not above chanting, prayer, or burning offerings (usually bacon) to the brew gods. Your patience has been amazing, as has your help and encouragement. I am here to further impose upon you with a Capiscumel theoretical recipe. I was thinking about brewing a liter of said experiment in a Johnny Walker red bottle.

Here's my theory.

1 liter of water
1 lb of honey
raisins for yeast nutrient
2 serano chilis, halves
1 dash hot sauce (mostly for the red color)
1 tsp of my beloved Di-Go yeast.

What do you think? Could I make this work?

perhaps you should make 20 gallons of it, on such a small scale mistakes will be easy to taste and a larger batch could mean a greater range of pepper utilization.

trust me, I own a microscope.

Why the heck would you NOT brew this? Do it, and let us know how that goes. Btw, burning bacon is a crime. I like it crispy, but not ash.
