Bam-Bam

Eventually I plan on making a spicy pineapple Mead / or capsicumel as some refer to it. Once I get the thumb for growing white ghost or chocolate ghost pepper I think I'll use them for mead's

Can I cross a bird and Carolina reaper.
The bird peppers a hot and from the bit of checking I've done hots and sweets can cross. So im not sure if it's fruitless effort or not
