Notes"I've been reading The Homebrewer's Garden to gather some information about taking care of the hops I'm growing in my backyard. The final section of the book is a cornucopia of interesting herb, fruit, and vegetable beer recipes. One in particular titled "Chili Beer" caught my eye. I love spicy food and I've always thought of brewing a spicy pepper beer like a Jalapeno Pilsener, so I picked up all the ingredients and brewed this yesterday. Its an extract recipe which was a nice change of pace after my last few all grain brews. Because it is an interesting kind of exploratory/experiment of a beer I scaled the 5 gallon recipe down to 3 gallons. Honey, home toasted malt, and chili peppers should make this one interesting."Unfurl
