Looking for for ideas for a chilli brew a have a friend that grows them and was thinking could try a chilli beer but only ever done kits never tryed adding anything before cheers for any help
 
BrewDog did a fantastic one called Neon Overlord. I thought it would be super gimmicky, but it was brilliant. You can get the recipe by googling DIYdog.
 
Pretty sure David Heath did a YouTube video brewing a chilli ale with the full recipe and instructions included.
 
They work best in stouts and porters for my tastes. Chilli and chocolate is a great combination. Depends what chilli's you've got and what they offer in flavour and heat. Durham Brewery occasionally do Hellfire, an imperial stout with Naga that's great but full on. My local brewery, Redwillow, use deseeded Chipotles to make Smokeless, a porter that has very little heat, but a lovely smokey flavour.
