I brewed a pretty generic brewing kit red ale, and thought “what the hell”, and dumped in an ounce of aged dried habaneros. Thumbnail is immediately after cast-out.

Day 2

Seems to be going well! The internal convection is crazy strong, looks like a waterfall of yeast and seeds.

    There’s a clown shoes beer that’s spicy as fuck. I didn’t like it but I tried it years ago and I think my pallet is more refined now. I just started growing ghost peppers… Maybe I’ll have to make a ghost pepper stout haha

    That’s awesome! Hope it comes out great.

    Just curious, if you added it after you cooled off your wort, do you need to worry about wild yeast or bacteria on the habaneros?

      They were dried and stored in a cupboard for like 2 years lol.

      So yeah, probably. But if the krausen is anything to go by, it doesn’t seem to be an issue so far.
