Like most people I altered the recipe a bit. I added my extras 3 days after the initial fermentation. I thought 5 jalapenos might be a bit too hot so I used 3 large ones. I get a lot of pepper taste but the heat didn't come through too much. I could have used more. I used the zest of 4 key limes added the juice of 2 of them and threw the squeezed limes into the muslin bag as well. The lime taste comes through very well in the final product.

This is my second time brewing this recipe & both came out better than expected! I used 5 large mature jalapenos from my garden this time & was afraid it would end up too hot like my Chili Fest Porter. I like spicy food & drink but only to a certain pain threshold! This had a nice jalapeno bite with only moderate heat. The lime balanced the flavor nicely. It only had to condition a couple weeks to be good but it seems to improve with each passing week. Highly recommended!

This is a beer for the right person. I have some good friends that love this beer and others who couldn't finish it. I used 4 large jalapeno's and man they are prevelant in this beer. I would suggest cutting back or using smaller peppers if you want only a little kick of heat and jalapeno flavor. The lime helps with the overall flavor. Just be careful with the jalapeno's!
