So I’m brewing a 5 gallon extract kit from NB, the dead ringer IPA. I have brewed this beer before and after tasting a beer infused with jalapeno at my beer club a few months ago I got intrigued with the idea of adding it to my IPA. My bartender suggested adding citrus zest as well and we settled on grapefruit.
After doing some research on additive methods I’ve settled on chopping up the jalapeno prior to bottling day, soaking it in vodka and adding the infused vodka to the secondary a couple days before bottling. If anyone has any input on that I’d appreciate it.
Now as the grapefruit zest is concerned, I’m not sure when the best time to add it is, how much and how to add it. Any input is greatly appreciated.
This is my first attempt at adding additional flavors to a kit and I’m excited to try it out.
Cheers!
