I am planning on doing a mini batch chocolate stout, and adding some heat to it. Probably cayenne peppers. My question is how to go about this, should I steep with specialty grains, add powder to the boil, or drop a couple peppers into the primary? Also, how much should I use? I dont want anything overpowering, but I want to know it is there. I know its "to each his own" but if anyone has experience with something like this I'd love to hear it.
