Have you bought the chillies already? They vary in heat dramatically.

Easiest might be dry.

No was going to add jalapeños boiled deseeded and added in Muslim bag at the end of the fermenter for 48 hrs do you reccomend any different cheers
 
As long as they weren't pickled first! Sounds like a good plan to me. I'd avoid overcooking them at all. Just bring them up to boiling and flame out.

The quantity will be experimental though. You could bruise/crush them a little after boiling to help extract flavour. Need to be hygienic though.

What do you mean by flame out .? I thought 3 would do it and once done 30 min in cheap vodka to sterilise and straight in with the vodka only what you think

Cheers
 
I just mean turn the gas off as soon as they hit 100c. I doubt the vodka would make any difference to be honest.

Give it a go and see. If you do decide to bruise them at all, you could fold them between some foil or cling film after boiling and give them a whack.

If it works and tastes nice I will send you a bottle thanks for the help
 
I was looking for this thread the other day but couldn't find it.

After reading here I cut the top off a "stir fry" chilli from aldi and put in boiling water while sterilising my bottles. I added this to a 330ml bottle and then filled it with ipa.
Was a very pleasant twist and I may do half a dozen bottles like this again, definitely left my lips tingling.
