wine I give you....Passow's Chili-Wine

Using the recipe that THSC gave us (and added fruit wine yeast), I've finally bottled the chili-wine. It finished fermenting last week (that was a long fermentation!). I ended up with a half of a gallon of wine. Used Asain Birdseye peppers (about 40 of them) and a whole bell pepper (extra sugar I figured), and a few Serannos.

Having a glass of it right now. Suble sweetness, nice back of the throat burn (would rate it as a 3 out of 10). Very slight sufler bite that appear extremely breifly but that's a by product of the yeast and the fact that I didn't rack it enough at the first racking period (I did two rackings).

Going to age the bottles (drinking one today/tomarrow). I'll try one next month and see how it's aged, then go from there.
 
As Spock would say.."fascinating Jim." Kinda has that "potty water" look to it though. What was the juice for the base?

Cheers, TB.

Just water, lots of sugar and boil those with the peppers. Then mash the peppers as much as possable, boil some more and ferment.
 
Here's what I did for those who wish to replicate (like I said, this is basically the corrected and improved THSC recipe)

PASSOW'S CHILLI-WINE

40 Asain Birdseye Peppers
3-5 Serannos
1 Red Bell Pepper
6 cups sugar
1.5 Gallons Water
4 teapoons Lemon Essence
1 teaspoon citric acid

Slice chillis open, put chilli's , water , sugar inpot (I placed them in a spagetti strained in the pot) bring to boil and simmer for 20 - 30 min. Then mash the peppers with potato masher in the pot add lemon essence and citric acid,, Strain, cool, pitch yeast (Fruit Wine yeast) and put in fermenter. Rack into secondary fermentor after three weeks. Bottle when fermentation has ceased.

It took me about one and a half months to get to the bottling stage. This was just a f it to see what I get way. You can probably do it much better by actually doing a large 5 gallon batch with the peppers in the water in a open top fermentor like you do with wine and then squize the juice out of them in your mash turn....but be careful....capsaicin is a pritty tough chemical to get out of things....as we all know.
 
Tsk. Tsk. Tsk. NOT ONE NAGA..you're slippin'. If I were you..I'd do what the Don said.."keep your friends close..but keep your enemies closer.."

Cheers, TB.

I'm guessing only 8% but the fruit wine tends to produce stuff up to 14%. I only had about 7 ounces and was a little funky after that...so who knows....
