Greetings and brew brag

3 years ago by SpiderShoeCult to c/homebrewing

Hey, everyone! Figured I'd fire up a homebrewing community and see if there's any takers.

I know you're out there, just as I was out there lurking on other similar sites. :D

Come here and brag with your latest creation. I'll start, just brewed an unexpected wee heavy using Eitrhem kveik.

Cheers!

Recently bottled a Peach Ginger mead that managed to get to 19% without permission. Tbf though I didn't try to stop it. I Have English breakfast, Chai, Black Currant, and Chocolate Vanilla meads that need to be bottled. Next plan is Pineapple Cayenne. I have Carolina Reapers growing that my friends want to try a mead of...might try a very small batch just to see if its feasible.

sweet. might I ask what yeast you used?

I've done a chilli mead once, with the honey slightly caramelized and used about 2 habaneros for 5 L (1.3 gal). Came out spicy enough that I felt some burning going down. Would be interesting to see how Carolina Reapers work.

I used D-47 for all of them and Orange Blossom honey. It's tolerance is 14% and thats around where I wanted it to stop but it had other plans. If you only used 2 Habaneros I can't imagine what Carolina Reapers will do.
