Hi Folks,
I'm putting together a recipe for a CPA (chipotle pale ale), and I'm looking to see how others have added peppers to their brew. My plans are to add 8 oz of chipotles with 5 minutes left in the boil, and then steep for 15 minutes at flameout.
Not having added anything to my brew, other than malt, hops, water, and yeast, I don't know if the qty I'm using is too much, too little, or if making the addition that I'm doing will supply some heat and flavor to my beer. At this point it is all experimental...however, I would like to produce a drinkable product.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Dan
