Hi All,

I thought I'd give a try to Jack's Jalapeno wine recipe. So I go to
Produce Depot here in Ottawa to pick up 8 nice green Jalapenos to make up
for the 1 gallon recipe. Right beside the Jalapenos, I see the Habaneros! I
think to myself "Why not take it to the next level?" So I picked up 6 (3
yellow and 3 red) habaneros to make up another gallon... I used Jack's
recipe but substituted the 8-16 Jalapenos for 4 Habaneros...

Litterature says the Habaneros are between 200 000 and 577 000 Scoville
Units (unit to measure for the heat in chile peppers) and regular Jalapenos
are 2 500 and 5 000 Scoville.

I can't wait to see the end result. Might come out being way too hot for
drinking but if it does i'll just use it as a cooking wine.

Anyone out there crazy enough to have ever tried it with Habaneros ? Let
me know what you think !

EB

Yep , been there done that .... even got the t shirt .

The Habs will be to hot to drink . In my 15 gallon batches I use the
jalapenos and add 2 habs . Pretty hot .

It will probably become a flavoring for Virgin Marys. A little will go
a long way. By making it so hot, not much can be used in a drink. An
addition of vodka will be necessary for alcoholic content. Rather
self-defeating.

Eric,

Offhand, I'd say you're treading on dangerous ground. Consider this: A
Scoville unit is "a milliliter of water needed to rinse out the taste of
a hot pepper." You choose to put about 4 x 400,000 Scovilles into a
gallon of wine. That comes to 1,600,000 per gal. or 64,000 units per 5
oz glass of wine. Hmmmmm..... Theoretically you might have to drink 64
LITERS of water after each glass of Habanero wine. Consider how many
trips to the bathroom that represents over night... Ye Gods, man! What
were you thinking? ;-)

I have to admit, some of the replies I got on this one made me laugh pretty
hard ! The Habaneros are more of an experiment than anything else... The
thing is probably going to be waaaaay too hot to handle but hey, you never
know until you try it! I'm thinking cooking is going to be the main use of
this liquid fire.

I did that a few years ago. It was very difficult to get it to ferment to
dryness. I used more peppers than that recipe calls for, and it's pretty
hot. Best use is probably in a marinade for BBQ, or possibly as an entry in
an amateur winemaking contest - just to observe the judges' reaction. ;^D
