Five gallons of jalapeno wine this time around.   



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

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

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

ever try cactus and jalapeno

No, cacti are a rare commodity here in Boston!

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

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

try throwing some agave in with it next time

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!

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?

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

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?

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.
