About to put this all together...
2lbs fresh strawberries
1 can strawberry daiquiri mix (frozen concentrate)
1.37 lbs jalapenos (only removed stems) (15)
water to a gallon.
starter with must 1.5 cups
1 tsp Pasteur red yeast
1 tsp yeast nutrient
1 tsp sugar
WEARING GLOVES I dice the jalapenos and place them into a sterilized nylon bag. I want it to be super hot so I use the whole pepper minus the stem. Once in the bag i set them aside, and also sliced my strawberries then pureed them and put them in a nylon bag. I put both these bags in the pot along with the frozen mix, and a cup of water and let simmer for 30 min. i added sugar until I reached a SG of 1.075. I let it cool then took a sample to make a the starter and added a crushed campden to the rest.
I intend to let it ferment to about 1.02, then possibly sweeten further with more concentrate for flavor.
