I'm happier than a tic on a hound! I said something to our local liquor store owner, and she said there was a couple who went through a gallon of wine a week. She called the gal, and I just collected two 1 gallon jugs! There'll be one a week coming until I tell her to stop. :db
 
OP, the owners of my LHBS sponser alot of wine tastings. All I had to do was ask, now I have over 20 cases of bottles, and like you all I have to do is say stop. But finding 1 gallon jugs are indeed a great score. Not to many things come in them anymore! Good for you man, tell em to keep it coming!

I still have to line up a source for pop-top beer bottles, but knowing 2-3 bartenders in town, I'm not worried.

Holy, crap! I like peppers more than the next guy, but.... :h
So, I have 100 pounds of apples, and a half pound of homemade chipotle power. How do I go about this?
 
This might be an Allie one. I think it was her that was experimenting with a jalepeno wine a while back.
 
Something I really like about wine making is the experimentation aspect. Peppers and fruit. Who'd have thunk it? Yet it works so well. I try all sorts of combinations now. I figure I can probably ferment everything except concrete. lol.
 
Apples and chicken always seems to work well. I have "ran" apple/almond chicken many times in the restaurant and it always works well. No t sure how I feel about peppers in this dish.

However, lots of different salsas can be made with peppers and fruits, and like you, I am not sure, but they have a way of working well together.

We do a apple-pear-jalapeño chutney that's to die for. But I have no idea how you'd add peppers to wine.
 
Here is Allies recipe. http://www.winemakingtalk.com/forum/showthread.php?p=26685
That should do the job for you. I add whatever fruit I fancy to mine and then play with the measurements of pepper to fruit. I did have to f-pac one batch but it was still good. I once made a lemon/chilli wine that nearly made me shout from the rooftops with joy. I still have several bottles of that kept back from friends and family. lol.
 
i will add a jalapeno recipe tomorrow. to make chipotle's we actually smoke the jalapeno's ourselves! we now do everything the hard way from basic fruits/veg.

IIRC, 15 peppers per gallon for a nice n spicy wine. i would say 10 might be closer to right for most folks. we like it hot! it's real good on a cold/sinuses. i have had a cold for 2 weeks and every morning a shot of it to clear it. breathen just great, less coughing even. medicinal? i think so!

oh, it's we mostly use it to marinade chicken (sandwiches/fajitas) and for chili.
