Ok so that's a question that has a hundred answers.. Specifics:
Blonde ale
8oz caramel, 8oz carapils
Og 1.048 target
I want a fairly spicy ale, but still drinkable. I've read a few posts on how and when, but mostly I'm trying to figure out if I can estimate based on scoville units. I've seen a post that said 8 ghost peppers soaked in vodka for two weeks, strain and pour vodka into bottling bucket for 5 gallon batch.
If that's correct, and the ghost pepper is 1mil units, I should be able to half that (4 peppers) for a Carolina reaper which is 2mil units and get a similar amount of heat.. ?
