Taste Notes
This tastes like a true two-part beer. First, you smell the green chili’s. Then, you taste the peppers, but there isn’t much heat. Then, the peppers vanish and you are left with a tasty amber with a hint of tequila from the Agave nectar. The agave syrup adds a nice ABV kick to the finished product.Notes
This is based on the All American Amber from Brewers Connection in Tempe, AZ. http://www.brewersconnection.com/recipes/all-american-amber.html. I modify their recipe by adding 1 pound of locally grown honey with the liquid malt extracts in the boil. I add all hops in hops bags and remove at end of boil. Then, I ferment for 7-10 days in brew bucket between 68 and 72 degrees (F) After primary, I transfer into glass secondary and add 12 oz. of Hatch Fire Roasted Chili Peppers-Diced Green Chili’s. I also add 18 oz. of Agave Nectar Syrup. This usually takes a full 14 days to settle down and for fermentation to end. I place a cheese cloth/hop bag over my siphon for transfer into the bottling bucket to filter out the peppers. I bottle with 3/4 of light brown sugar diluted in 12 oz of hot water mixed into bottling bucket.
Yes, it's mine, but I like it!
by ClintPottsYes, this is my own recipe. However, it began with a great American Amber that I had brewed several times and perfected to my liking. After tasting a Green Chili beer at a local brew house, I decided to try my own. I started with a really good brew and then jazzed it up with Hatch Green Chilis and Agave Nectar. Please read the note section for specific instructions. The calculator shows this at 5.3%, but experience tells me that it is a butt-kicker. I'm not sure the Agave nectar in the secondary is being calculated correctly. Using another calculator that allows calculation of secondary fermentation sugars, the OG is 1.067 with a final of 1.012, yielding an actual ABV of 6.8-7.3. Like I thought--butt kicker without the ultra-hoppiness of an IPA. Enjoy!
