Looking for your suggestions on how many peppers to use. I would like to impart a little kick, not too much, and a mellow aroma. I don't want the pepper to overtake the beer flavor. What do u think??

I'm brewing a wheat beer. Fairly simple recipe. The pepper is the question. I've read about people using all different kinda for a beer like this. I'm thinking about using a chili pepper. One gallon batch by the way

Lots of different kinds of chili peppers out there. Use about a half a habanero.

I put 3 roasted jalapenos in a 5 gallon batch and it was spicy. If you use those use one maybe two, roast them though, good flavor..

He said it's a 1 gallon batch, so 1-2 would be overkill based on your experience. 1/2 would get him a little less spice than yours, though 1/4 might be the subtle spice he's looking for.

I can scale it down to whatever. Just looking for some clue as to what people have tried is all.

Ahh. didn't read the one gallon batch. I would add less at the beginning. Maybe half or a quarter of a pepper. Cause remember you can always add heat but its harder to take it away..
