I am now entering into my second year as a home brewer. When I started I was using juicy juice, bread yeast, and yes, a balloon on top of the jug. I then stumbled onto this channel about a month into brewing. I now have an entire room dedicated to my wine and mead, a in depth detailed notebook with all of my notes for each brew. All glass carboys ranging from .5 gallon up to 6 gallon. I now have multiple hydrometers, racking canes, bottling wands, and air locks. All thanks to the passion you two show in your home brewing. One of your earlier capsicumel videos intrigued me, but I never got around to making one. Then I watched this video. I’m proud to say that as of today I just started this exact recipe. The only differences that I can tell is I didn’t use the same honey. But everything else I followed pretty accurately. I used 2.5lbs of wildflower honey, 1 habanero, and 1 pack of Lalvin 71Beast. My starting gravity was even within only a few points of yours. I read a 1.082, and then to my surprise I walked away after pitching the yeast and within 30 minutes there’s already activity in my airlock. Which is making me super excited that my variables are matching your brew. I’ve already watched your tasting and bottling video on this certain brew, and I’m super excited to rack this brew into my wide mouth and add my dried mango. So I suppose the real reason for this super long comment is to thank you for the passion you two give to help educate those of us who are still learning some basics to brewing, and how enjoyable it is to watch you guys, and how much your videos have helped me plan a brew using basic math and note taking. Cheers!

I do a imperial stout every summer that takes like 20 lbs of 2 row and 10 oz of wet hops, I put around 25 to 30 habaneros in secondary The beer comes out great, it’s stout in the front, then a pepper sting that goes away in a few seconds to end with a stout, boozy finish. It’s truly great. I make 5 gallons a year.

We made a ginger beer 2 months ago and added a single habanero to it. It started at 1.092 and went to 0.096 after 2 months. We didn't think it would go completely dry, so we gave it plenty of sugar to eat and plenty of time, low and behold it went DRY. We used Red Star Premier Blanc yeast, which goes to like 18%, and it took that ginger beer to 14%. I didn't know habaneros were good nutrient for yeast, maybe that helped it go as dry as it did. We also used ginger, lemon, cinnamon, allspice, cloves, and a few peppercorns. I figured as anti-septic as all of that was, the yeast would struggle. Preliminary taste is AMAZING. Now it's bottle carbing/conditioning until college football season starts.

The capsaicin gives it the warm and fuzzies and keeps it warm and active.. just like feeding chickens cayenne pepper during colder months to keep egg production up when it falls. Chickens dont have heat receptors in their mouths or belly so it just keeps them warm which stimulates egg production
@Chemengi3 жыл бұрын
True, birds don't have capsaicinoids receptors, but what it does to chickens is to accelerate metabolism, therefore heat is produced that keep them warm. Is like giving them a light fever. In yeast is similar, metabolism accelerates (local temperature increases) and more sugar is converted to alcohol. In general, an increment of 2C temperature can be a 10x increased metabolic activity, but it puts too much stress on living organisms.

You are great. I'm a mad brewer. Yes I do take some notes, but I'm never sure of the result. I have a basic mead, grape juice and a peppermint ( for Christmas) going now. I am wondering if you have an idea why my mead stalled. It was an experiment that started at 1.116 with just water and honey. I used 71B and was hoping for a little bit of sweetness. But it stopped at 1.046 and I added a little Firmade-O and some EC-1118 ( reluctantly) to get it going again. It went to 1.036 and stopped again. Do you have any ideas why that happened? I was expecting at least 14% and after I added the 1118, I was expecting dry at about 14.9%. I going to just let it clear, even though it's much sweater than I would like.

Five? This all really depends on you and your preferences. In our experience, Capsicumels taste best when the heat is balanced nicely with the sweetness of the honey. That way it isn't all in your face heat without any other flavors to play off of. So, how hot do you like it? How sensitive is your palate to sweet flavors? One way to test is to get some honey and dump that pepper right in there and then take a bite. Was it nice? Did it make you want to scream? This could be a better gage as to how many chilies to add.

@@CitySteadingBrews @City Steading Brews great, no worries, carolina reapers can be a little insane like uncle Bill 🤣, I will add it to taste but im fairly tolerant to very spicy peppers and this mead is only for me but I'm pretty liberal with adding hot chilli's, I made a hydrocapsicumel 🤦♂️🤷♂️ it was a capsicumel under 7% ABV but it had birds eye chilli's and it was a while ago but instead of adding 3 4 or 5... nah, I added a litteral ton, and all orange blossom which is nice but my mistake was giving it to family, belive it was Christmas 19' folks were lining up in the bathroom lol 🤣 muh ha ha 😝

Manual Suck-O-Matic.....actually, since you're doing something with a hot pepper, it is actually a "Manuel Suck-O-Matic"?
