Jalapeno Wine
    #10134537 - 04/09/09 05:50 AM (14 years, 11 months ago)

Well with the push from a friend, I've finally decided to get this stuff going!

I started out yesterday with 16 jalapinos and about a pound of raisins. I cut and seeded all but one of the jalapinos (didn't want to make it TOO hot!) then blended them up with some water and the raisins. I then put the whole mess in my primary, along with about 2 pounds of sugar and enough water to make a gallon. Into this I added about 3/4 tsp yeast nutrient as well as a crushed campden tablet.

Then I let it sit overnight, and added about 1/2 tsp of pectic enzyme...which brings us to where I am now! I'm going to let it sit for about 12 hours before I add the yeast (using champagne yeast).

Here's what it looks like so far...

Wow!  I've fermented a lot of things, but never hot peppers.  Let us know how it turns out.  If nasty, you can always distill it and use it for bloody marys.

It's supposed to be really good for cooking with! Does something "indescribable" to spaghetti sauce.

My friend just wants it to drink! Supposed to warm you up on a cold winter day :wink:

Smells like sweet peppers. Me and a friend tried a little bit of the must before I put the yeast in...and it was quite good! The raisins hadn't done much by this point, but you could really taste the peppers and it had a great level of heat!

Day 3-5: stirred must daily

I am supposed to remove the lid and stir the must for the first 7 days, then I will be putting it into secondary and slapping an airlock on it.

Besides...the must is in a large bucket with about 4 gallons of head space. You know that CO2 is heavier than air? I doubt if just removing the lid causes much oxygen to get down to the must...and stirring probably only accounts for a little.

Even if it did, the oxygen would be displaced almost immediately by the CO2 being produced.

Day 8: transferred into secondary...tested the SG and it is at about 1.000 so I think fermentation is just about done! Took a little taste and WOW! Quite good and quite hot! Actually it's a lot hotter than before fermentation.

If jalepenos do that to you/anyone you know, laugh at them for me...
even serranos are hotter, and they suck.

I eat 1+ jalapenos everyday and about 1+ habanero a week/month, after a few days it just stops burning and tastes like peppers, it has amazing health benefits for your body.

I doubt jalapeno wine would be harsh at all, the brewing process itself would probably take the edge off some of the burn.
I've made some intense brews before using cayenne as a spice in cider and it does feel warming, im curious to see how jalapeno turns out.

let us know how it goes trendal, :cheers:

I'm interested to know how this turns out. I made a batch of habanero mead back around Christmas time, and, while it gives a whole new meaning to the term "fire water" it definitely needs time to age. I've put a minimum of early May on it, but it may take longer than that.

Nothing's wrong...the wine is still sitting in the carboy...waiting :wink:

Likely will take 2-3 more times racking it before it falls clear.

Day 28: I gave up on waiting, and decided to go ahead and bottle it tonight (it was already clear)!

It tastes quite good! The heat level is not unbearable, even by my gf who doesn't like very hot foods. Starts off with a pepper taste, which is quickly overcome by a rising heat level. It's a strange heat, though, quite unlike anything I've tried! The heat builds rather quickly just to the point of being painful and then drops off just as quickly, leaving a gentle warm sensation in my mouth and throat.

We are going to make a stir fry tonight with the wine added to it...more on that later.

Nice job, I thought this sounded terrible when I heard about it.

Now I want to try some.

I actually expected it to turn out a lot hotter than it did! It is very drinkable!

And it turns out to be a great cooking wine! Added about 1/3 cup to our stir fry tonight. The heat was just noticeable, which is where I like it in a stir fry. My gf claims she will use no other, now that she has this wine for cooking with!
