APPLE/JALAPEÑO WINE

[OldCanalBrewing]

My apple jalapeno is now bottled. It still has the green pepper taste, nut then has the kick. I hope it mellows. I added a small label that says "great for cooking too". If its not a good drinker, then it should be fine to deglaze with and such.

I would not count on this mellowing out. It is wonderful to cook with!

Like Runningwolf said I doubt it will mellow out but besides deglazing, try marinating with it, the heat really doesn't carry thru to much.

Not mellow from heat, but the "green" pepper taste. It is still good though. Not a session wine though.

I used white grape juice as the base to the batch I made.
Real hot but tasty, called it Hole Fire Wine.
Try pouring yourself a shot and sip it with a nice beer, mine is good that way.

Recipe:
1/2 lb mixed raisins
6 Anaheim peppers
8 red jalapeno peppers
2 habanero peppers
1 gallon of welches white grape juice
4 lbs of sugar
1 tsp Lalvin E-1118 (activated)

I chopped the peppers then put ingredients in the blender and then into a mesh bag.

SG 1.130

After only 7 days the sg was at 1.020 and I racked to secondary.

I think I like your label better but here is mine.
