I've been conscripted to making a "mexican themed" beer for a party at the end of January. I'm thinking about doing a smoked pepper porter.
I've got the "smoked" part down, and the "porter" part down, but I've never added peppers to a beer before. I generally hate the idea. But I think pepper flavor would be great. I need advice regarding 1) how much to add for a 5 gallon batch, 2) how to add them (Mash/Boil/secondary) 3) what style of pepper would you suggest?
I do not want there to be a lot of heat to this. I'm looking for a crowd pleaser.
thanks for suggestions!
