    Spice, Herb, or Vegetable Beer Jalapeno Cream Ale

    You can buy jalapeños in Tesco, they're the short stubby fat ones! Don't see why your recipe wouldn't work but I don't know much about extract. Ha local hero is a stretch, been brewing for just short of a year, I did 3 beer kits and jumped straight to BIAB all grain! There's a good brew...

    Spice, Herb, or Vegetable Beer Jalapeno Cream Ale

    Hey my kitchen is a steady 20C or 68F (for the Americans :p) and I've had good results, just bottled my second attempt at this last night, brewing with mainly pilsner malt with some Maris Otter.

    Spice, Herb, or Vegetable Beer Jalapeno Cream Ale

In my interpretation only variations were use of UK Maris Otter (hence golden hue), wheat malt for head retention and bitter but woody NZ hops, I followed the OP's Chilli...

    Spice, Herb, or Vegetable Beer Jalapeno Cream Ale

    Hello from rainy Manchester in the UK! Have had this thread book marked for months, can't remember where I first heard of "jalapeño cream ale" but this was the first hit when googling recipes, I love spicy food (my wife is Korean) and I love beer so no reason why the two shouldn't be combined...

    How Did Your first Brew Go?

    Dude you should get a T-Shirt made... Front: Oh well... Back: Nothing I can do now!! Fingers crossed no real cock ups yet but in the next week or so making the jump up to all grain, so margin for error is going to increase, I like the bath chiller by the way :) Easy now! Jon
