Thanks Mick & Bubbles.

Pineapple hey?

I did a smoked chipotle porter last year too - one of the best beers I've made. Sticking with a similar base profile, like you suggested.

I just think it's great to experiment and broaden your homebrewing horizons and have a bit of fun along the way  - who wants to brew the same lager all the time?

P.s. I'll be hand delivering it to POB  ;)

Yeah the pineapple was a great addition to the beer, played nice with the heat of the habanero. If you brew it I will come for the tasting! ;)

I made it with cream ale recipe it let chili shine. I used red x malt as I wanted to look hot also.
If your a man use 11 g dried habanero chilli in secondary, i think bought it in Dunne's. If not able for the heat try 2-3g.
If Ye want recipe I can post.

In work need to post it the slow way.

If you love chilli like I do go with full amount for hot hot hot. It's fun beer, as people sip it and go ahh that isn't hot, then...1..2..3. BANG hot as hell. I have noticed people who hate chilli change their minds after a session when they try it , it goes down very easy and comments are that's beautiful. It's like when you crave a spicy kebab at the end of the night. But alas it doesn't affect you on the next day when on the throne !

Was given a chillied beer at a taproom in the states last summer without being warned it was chillied. Didn't taste much afterwards.

Do you realise taproom is almost an anagram for tampon?  ???  ???
