I'm working on my revised recipe for this. The first one was great but I wanted more flavor, aroma, and spice from the peppers, and to clean up my recipe a bit.
I'm uncertain how roasting vs uncooked jalapeños effect the flavor, aroma, and spice levels, as well as uncertain how adding them to the end of the boil differs from using them as a "dry pepper" addition.
I intend to roast the jalapeños intended for the boil at 350* for 30 mins, slice them thin, and place in a ziplock bag to "steam" for an hour prior to placing them in the freezer. I'm uncertain what I'll do with the others (roast or not), but place these in a container filled with vodka a couple of weeks prior to using after slicing thinly as well.
This is my 5.5 gal partial mash/partial boil recipe:
5.25 lbs 2-row
3 lbs ultralight LME (FO)
3/4 lb flaked barley
1/2 lb C 20
3/4 oz Mt Hood @ 70 mins
1/4 oz Mt Hood @ 21 mins
4 lg jalapeños @ 7 mins
4 lg jalapeños for 7-14 day "dry pepper"
US-05
1.051/1.010
5.4% ABV
18 IBU's
4 SRM
