We have found that garden fresh has a different taste than fresh grilled. The Smokey taste infuses and smoothies the whole quart out. Spicy, smoky and what a sexy drink to pour. It’s even replaced tequila a time or three in line margaritas. Love the videos, keep up the great work.

Looking online, it says casein in dairy works like a detergent for oils, attracting and surrounding capsaicin molecules whereas oil dissolves the capsaicin into it.

Am I suppose to increase the amount of peppers (or ingredients in general) with the volume? Cause I did... So when I was stirring my brew I felt my eyebrows burning off and was a little concerned of the spicynesslevel. So I just had my first tasting after measuring mid fermentation and it was hot! Hooowweee. After I got used to the spice I liked the flavour but my girlfriend not so much for the spicyness. Is there a way to temper the spicyness in the brew? Thanks! :D love your video's

You've inspired me to try masking a chili mead! I just harvested the spring honey from my hives and some chilis from my garden. I make my own fermented hot sauces and chili infused honey. My question is, do you think that using fresh chilis or chili infused honey would yield a better product? Also, do you think that the lactobacillus bacteria that lives on the pepper skins, which is beneficial during hot sauce fermentation, could cause a problem during the yeast fermentation? When making chili infused honey, I bring the honey to a boil and add the peppers. Thus, killing the bacteria and any other unwanted organisms. Let it be known, that even though I have made several successful batches of mead and fermented hot sauces, I still consider myself a complete novice. Any thoughts on this would be greatly appreciated. I love your channel. you've given me some great ideas in the past. Keep up the great work.
@CitySteadingBrews2 жыл бұрын
My suggestion would be to use the raw honey and fresh chili's. This way you will have the benefits of both without any detractions. As you saw in our video, we used fresh chili's. As far as lactobacillus, it is found on a multitude of things. We have not had an issue using our homegrown ingredients in brews. If you have concerns you can use Camden Tablets to kill off any potentially harmful bacteria that may may be present in the base ingredients used in winemaking, and to discourage any wild yeast from gaining a foothold. We do not use them with our homegrown ingredients but as we begin to use more store bought fruit for brews we may start implementing them for cautionary measures.
