    Brewed up a porter that I added organic honey from my uncles bee farm and some smoked chipotle powder from the local spice market. I wanna add a little heat and smoky flavor. I was thinking of charing some poblano peppers and stuffing them in cheese cloth so I could fit them into my secondary as I'm racking the beer today. Any suggestions?

    Why not just more chipotle?

    Smoked malt puts a nice smoke falvor in the beer but a lil too late for that.

    I have a good smoked porter recipe that uses ancho chilies. It's pretty spicy when young.

    Had some habanero stout at a club meeting once. The brewer steeped habaneros in vodka and added the vodka at bottling/kegging. I'm sure the same would work with chipotle>

    Thanks guys!
    I've made flavor extracts utilizing vodka before, but I wanted a smokier and earthier flavor so I'll probably use them whole
