I put 1/2 tbsp cayenne powder in a secondary carboy yesterday and racked 5 gallons of stout onto it. Today I see that there is some of the cayenne powder floating on top of the stout in the secondary. Has anyone used cayenne in secondary before to know if the powder will eventually dissolve into the beer after a number of days? My concern is if there is still cayenne powder floating on top at the time of bottling then some of the concentrated powder may end up in the bottles, which I assume would not taste good and would be too spicy. Otherwise, perhaps I would just need to skim off the powder floating on top before bottling. Does anyone have experience using cayenne powder and know the answer to this?
