Devyl's Brew, round two!

[Devlyn]

Five gallons of jalapeno wine this time around.   



81 peppers, 10 lbs sugar, 5 lbs raisins, 5 lemons and 2 teabags for tannin.

[RaptorChops]

No offense but I feel like that would put me on the toilet for a few days 

[Devlyn]

Someone on Facebook saw the recipe and proposed to me on the spot!

[stephaniec]

ever try cactus and jalapeno

[Devlyn]

No, cacti are a rare commodity here in Boston! 

Hugs, Devlyn

So I'm curious. How does it taste? Like peppery booze?

[Devlyn]

Yes! It starts hot, then you taste the fruit flavor of the jalapenos. Then your tongue falls off. 

[stephaniec]

try throwing some agave in with it next time

[Yukari-sensei]

I'm curious to hear about it being used for cooking! 

In all honesty, I fear the idea of drinking that... and I grew up with my grandma's chile pequin salsa strait from the molcajete as a rite of passage!

[Devlyn]

It's made for cooking, I brew it bone dry, no sweetness at all. It's great in spaghetti sauce, chili, soups, sloppy Joes, I put it in anything that could use a pick me up! Of course, if I let some spoil, I'll have jalapeno vinegar. You ever seen a salad burst into flames?   

Hugs, Devlyn

What an awesome idea.  I brew a bit in my spare time.   . Where do you get your yeast?  Purchased or cultivated?

[kelly_aus]

Reminds me od a recipe for prison hooch..

Ebay, I use Lalvin EC-1118. It will take wine up to 18% alcohol, but this one is light on sugar and probably runs about 12% maybe?

[HoneyStrums]

Omg, you crazy people.

And Im sorry if that is found offensive. It is however, my go too term of endearment for those who dare.
