HenrikF Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 Anyone tried something like this? Or have an idea on how to make it? The one i have tried was medium dark, like the Unreal ale, with an ABV of about 7%. Hope someone has something up their sleeve[biggrin] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HenrikF Posted April 22, 2012 Author Share Posted April 22, 2012 Something like a recipe for a belgian trippel, or any experience using chili in a beer.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HowieH Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 I once used a quarter of a teaspoon of chilli flakes in a dark ale with ginger, juniper berries, cinnamon, Star Anise and cocoa powder( it was called "Goat Scrotum Ale " and the chilli completely overpowered all of the other ingredients I put in.[devil] Its finally mellowed out after 3 months. I like chillies but I am hesitant to use them again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hairy Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 Sorry Henrik, I can't help you with this one. I have only tried one beer with chilli in it and it was [sick] I'm not sure if this was indicative of all chilli beers but it has turned me off them.

GrahamB8 Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 I had this wrote down from my old LHBS in Canberra, the brew I made was awefull as I didnt use temperature control in those days but have kept this recipe on to make in the future. Make up a high gravity wort (1.08+) 5kg Pilsen DME 500g Vienna steeped 250g Carapils steeped (Chilli oils would affect your head) 500g Clear Candi sugar 35g Tetnanger 60mins 25g Saaz 30mins 15g Saaz 15mins Make a 2L starter from WLP530 or Wyeast 1762 (important) I knocked this up so you can play with the numbers a little Not 100% sure on the Chilli additions, there seems to be debate on adding to the boil, adding to secondary and adding a chilli stright to the bottle. Theres also a lot of discussion on heat/chilli types, some people dont like a 'fire' beer, some do. I suppose it all comes down to your taste mate.
