Has anyone got a recipe? Try this:- I’ve done chilli beers before and this method worked well. Roughly chop up the chilli (about 5 if really hot for 10l) and bring to the boil in about 500ml of water (more if loads of chilli) and simmer for about 5 mins. Turn off heating source, place lid on top and steep for 20min. Using a sanitised strainer add to the water in the droid, then yeast/ingredients ect. Or you can strain an amount into each keg if kegging Or add to droid at end of fermentation and allow 24hrs if bottling. (At the beginning is my preference) 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Clayton Angel 26 Report post Posted February 26 Thanks for this..awesome. What do you think would be a good brewprint/ingredients? Was thinking it might need to be a lager? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
