I read the Jalapeno Pepper Wine thread earlier. I want to make a pepper melomel. I don't just want to use Jalapeno's, I want to use some of all four of the different peppers that I am growing. I have Jalapeno Grande, Black Hungarian, Sweet Banana, (They do have a little bit of heat) and Quadrato D'Asti Giallo Bell Peppers. All of these are heirloom peppers, I bot the seeds from Baker Creek Seeds in Missouri. I probably have at least 15-20 pounds of peppers at my ready.
I have a few questions.
Can I simply make this using only peppers, water, and honey? Would that even work?
Do I have to use apple juice, apple juice concentrate, and or raisins along with the peppers?
In all of the wines/melomels that I have made I mix up everything on day one, the fruit, honey and the various wine ingredients. The next day I add my yeast. Can I do it that way with a pepper melomel? In the Jalapeno Pepper Thread it seemed like a lot of different steps were required.
I made 6 gallons of apple melomel from Whole Foods Organic Apple Juice by mixing everything up on day one and the next day adding my yeast. Could I do that and simply add a lot of peppers to it? Could I cut back on the apple juice and replace that with water if I added enough peppers?
Thanks
