Jalapeno wine

[Green_Acres]

I'm making halapeno wine off jack keller web page, I made it to the T from the Recipe I did not chance any thing, it been in the secondary for about a month now, it working nicely, is there any thing I need to watch for, I've only been making wine a yr now and this is my fourth time making wine the first and sec one came out good, used a kit for the third one and did not do well. right now all I know is after tasting it last night a little dab well do you, but very good.

I made a batch of jalapeno based on Keller's recipe. It came out very tasty and very hot. I bottled in 375's - it's a GREAT cooking wine!

Nothing special other than it took a long time to clear, so don't be afraid to rack a couple of times even if it isn't visibly dropping sediment. Racking this one helped keep it clearing.

seemed mine mellowed, but only after a year and a half or two.

I put mine in the freezer to stop fermentation and it defrosted the freezer!

It will get hotter until it reaches it's peak, then as it ages it will mellow out some.

Can't wait to see how "HOT" mine gets. Hope it mellows out nicely. I'll save you a bottle.
