I know white labs Eau du Vis (sp?) yeast is supposed to handle up to 21%. montrachet is 18%, i think? You could try that to "dry" it out some. Of course it'll wind up even more like a liqueur and even more appropriate for shots.

Just my .02

This kind of reminds me of a habanero mango cucumber margarita i've tried before (which was amazing). I think i'll have to add to my list.

I started this recipe 2 weeks ago.
I did pump up the volume though with 3 habanero peppers deseeded.
It is still bubbling away at a steady 62ºF and smells a decent bit like pepper coming out the airlock. I am starting to worry it will be TOO hot!

I plan on racking it off of the peppers at the 1 month mark and letting it sit until summer and see what happens.

If your capiscumel turns out too hot for you, just make a traditional and blend them.

No, I'm fine with it, it's going to be a shot challenge for other hotheads like me.
