This is a habanero pepper cider that has a moderately hot aftertaste. If you like hot peppers, this is a great brew to accompany buffalo wings or a good chili. Roast the peppers on the grill or in oven, then loosely mash with about two cups of the cider. Add to the primary and swirl generously to get a good suspension of the pepper in the cider. After fermentation, rack into priming bucket and add 1.2 oz of table sugar, then bottle.
