Chilli Beer

[Hoppkins]

Is it possible to make some sort of beer with chillis i wonder. Not hot but more sweet chilli?

I know from experience chillis in vodka releases the capsicum. Perhaps boiling some very mild chillis in some water and adding to the brew?

[oblivious]

Probably best adding it in the secondary or after fermentation, maybe step it in a little alcohol to get the flavour aroma out. But I do not know which kind to use.

I have a bunch of medium hot dried chillis i could use i grew myself.

I would really want the beer to be nice and sweet. Whats the best way to achieve a sweet beer.

Less bittering hops for the sweetness, then just steep the chillies in the secondary (or primary), perhaps boiling them in a little water.

I'm growing Jalapenos at the moment, i'm planning on smoking the red ones and making chipotle porter

That's gonna kill your throat

Last year I ended up with 3 kilos of Jalapenos plus a load of other varieties. This year, so far not had too much luck with the Jala's but in total I think we planted something close to 100 chilli and sweet peppers so hopefully I will have plenty come the end of the season

I made chilli wine last year, never again, good for cooking but not for drinking.

Also had a chilli beer last year, took two mouth fulls and the rest went down the drain.

With chilli's I reckon you will have to experiment and build up the flavour slowly, so you dont over do it.
