Ghost chili IIPA

[bannonb]

I am sorry that I can't give you advice on how much to put in...

Just be careful and do as others suggest--soak in water and taste.

The only Ghost pepper beer I tried was only suitable for chili because it was undrinkably hot! I respect the spectacle but can't drink it without getting hiccups and watery eyes and nose.

I just brewed a mild pepper beer (I call it En Fuego Pale Ale) with 3 Poblanos for 15 mins during the boil, then I'll add 2 roasted jalapenos to secondary. This beer is delicious.

Good luck.

Results: for a 5 gallon batch I ended up using 0.25 grams of ghost chili flakes. (See attached pic). The IPA base beer was good and the heat from the chilies was subdued by the alcohol content and residual sugar leaving a tingling on my lips and a hint if heat that resided right as I was ready for another sip.
