I have the identical problem. Did you find a longer hose assembly? I need 4 to 5 feet.

I've brewed this and similar jalapeno recipes seven times. Good move making the tincture. It’s the only way you can guarantee the heat will be right where you want it to be. I usually roast at least a dozen jalapenos on the grill. Smoke them for additional flavor and aroma, and let them soak...

I've brewed this beer 7 times and it is by far everyone’s favorite. I smoke my jalapenos, and when you get the taste of fresh cut jalapenos and smoke up front, and a little heat when if finishes, you just have to go back for another taste.

You’re right it doesn't stay in stock long. But I do stash a few beers from each batch for comparisons sake and I always bottle some bombers that I save for special occasions. I think it mellows out a little, but negligible. Personally I think it gets better with age. (Good luck keeping on...

Since I first read Sundowner's post I've made 35 gallons of this beer. I can’t keep it in stock so now its part of my regular rotation. Like all of us I’ve experimented with the recipe. I’ve used different yeasts, and multiple combinations of hops. I always stick with hops with low alpha...

I roast them and for an added touch smoke them with Hickory. It adds a very nice touch. Than soak them in vodka. The vodka draws out the smoke, jalapeno flavor and heat. After several weeks discard the peppers, you only need the tincture for racking. I don't add peppers to the boil, primary...

I've brewed this excellent beer 5 times. Save the Vodka/Jalapeno tincture for the bottling bucket. It’s the only way you can control the heat. I’m at the point where I don’t put peppers in the boil, primary, or secondary. Flavor to taste with the tincture and you can’t go wrong.

I've also made this wonderful brew three times, and will brew it again this weekend. Adding jalapenos to the secondary is a crap shoot. You can bite into one jalapeno and it tastes like a green pepper, another will knock your socks off. I've always made a tincture and added to taste at...

A 90 minute boil will give you better hop utilization and get rid of DMS. I use 90 minute boils in lighter beers like cream ales.

I made a vanilla tincture several months ago, and prefer to use a homemade vanilla extract in my flavored beers. The logic being that I can control the flavor by adding a little at a time to the bottling bucket. After the beer is bottled I add more beans to the tincture and I’ll be ready for...

After 3 weeks I transferred to the secondary. I plan on bottling this weekend, and will add cold infused coffee and homemade vanilla extract.

Three weeks in the primary - transferred to secondary. I plan on bottling over the weekend. Looks like my FG will come in at 1.019.

I brewed a week ago today. Within 3 hours I could tell I needed to get a big blow off tube ready. Like you said, it was pretty violent. Within 48 hours it settled down so I went to my normal setup and was getting activity about every 15 seconds. Within 4 days it picked up again, activity...

Give it sime time to get happy. I've made this beer twice and will make it again. It gets better with age if you can keep it in stock that long.

BTW - Love this recipe, thanks for shairing!

I've made this twice using Carafa III, and never tried using Carafa II. Next time I brew it I'll try it.... I'm curious to see what difference it makes.

Well, ya don't know if ya don't go. I plan on brewing it this weekend and will keep you informed. I'm a member of a brew club that gives honest but constructive criticism. AHBA judges will give me the feedback... gulp!

I’ve brewed this 3 times and have had success with this recipe. It doesn’t vary much from BierMuncher’s, and it’s a house favorite. I bottle and it’s hard to keep on the shelf so this is a recipe that’s in my regular rotation. My ABV comes in at 6%, but it's light, flavorful, and appeals to...

:mug: I would suggest that if you think your wife would like……. Brew it. :mug:

Was worth a try.
