Jalapenos baby...

[deeve007]

So for my attempt at a lime & jalapeno gose, I'm planning to add 3 mid-size jalapenos for last 15 minutes of boil, and then more at the end of fermentation, either "dry hopped" ("dry jalapenoed"?) or tincture as recommended elsewhere.

Sound like a plan to try? I do want to try a little in the boil to see what effect it produces, but keeping it to 3 so it shouldn't be too hot.

Sure. You are going to get a cooked jalapeno flavor rather than a raw jalapeno so it just depends on what you want. Maybe you want some of both so adding both during the boil and after fermentation makes sense.

Good tip, will try that...

Consider making pepper extracts using cheap vodka. This way, you can a) get the raw flavor, and b) control the taste exactly during bottling.

So my lime & jalapeno gose rocks!!
May need a little more carbonation for the head, or if not changing another week in the bottle maybe something in the recipe to improve that. Otherwise live it!!

(just the main ingredients, don't understand most of the other stuff )

I want to add a little ginger next time to add a little more flavour complexity, but jalapeno & lime on point, as is the sourness and the subtle salt/coriander.

Speaking of Chile pepper extracts I was at Bevmo and they have a Habenero Vodka. Thought that might be good to use for making a chili tincture.
