Will probably plan to have them in secondary for a week. How many peppers should go in and how much of the vodka pepper tincture should I add? I don't mind the heat, and I'd like this to have some pepper kick, since that's the point of using them. Thanks!
The first time I brewed it I ended up using 12 ounces of the tincture. (I added 4 ounces at a time and then tasted) The beer was awesome!

I decided to kick up my second batch a little, and wasn't as pleased with the results. Heat lovers really enjoy batch #2. For me it lost that wonderful assertive balance of fresh jalapeno’s, smoke, and the cream ale itself. I really liked that the heat came in the very late finish, making you want to reach for your next sip.

I will cut back on batch #3.

For me balance is the key to all good beers. The heat is great, but if you fire it up to much all you get is the heat. I wish there was a silver bullet. The best I can offer is keep good notes and make a tincture so you control the balance.

And quite a fine little recipe it is. I'm about to do a 12 gallon batch the end of February so I can keep it on tap through the summer.

I think the best answer/advice would be to read the BJCP Style Guidelines. Note 6A. Cream Ale. Although it would have to be entered as 21A. Spice, Herb, or Vegetable Beer, the Cream Ale is the base.
