I'm making a pepper beer from a recipe a friend gave me. He boils his peppers and puts one pepper in each bottle. Seems easy enough, but they all become gushers over time. I figured putting the peppers in secondary would allow me to control the heat. My question is this: what is better, canning the peppers or soaking them in vodka for a few days?
 
Not an expert here, but there are a few threads on pepper beer or Jalapeno Beer that I have read as I am leaning towards brewing one this summer. I know a lot of people do both, but I think the secondary fermenter would be best, and think roasting them would be the best option. Canning is definitely heating them up.
