Yeah that much I understand. I was just wondering if anybody had made some and was wondering how much to add. I was thinking six jalapeños. Roasted and soaking vodka for about 2 to 3 weeks. And then finally I will add it to the bottling process.
6 jalepenos is way too much. I put one in a 2 gal batch and everyone who tried it couldn't stand more than a few sips. All you tasted was 'hot' after the first drink. I'd advise using .5 to 1 jalapeno for 5 gals and then maybe add a tiny piece of one in each bottle if its not enough.
Really? That seems soooo small. Not that I'm looking for killer heat, but then again I don't want to waste 5 gal. Doesn't roasting taking some of the heat out? Also I was gonna scrape all the seeds out too. I wish there was more info on this.
I also scraped out the seeds, it could have just been a really hot pepper. Maybe just dry hop em and taste it every now and then so you can get it where you want it. From my experience with peppers, a little goes a long way
