Yeah, I thought the amounts were very small. Does Hunaphu (sp?) have a BIG pepper flavor or is it way in the back? If it were 60 gallons, you would take all of those numbers and use just 1/12th of it... pretty small amounts.

yeah that's what?  .4 ozs for 5 gallons?

I get .53oz of dried peppers (varieties combined) which I would think would be noticeable. The pasillas and guajillos will bring some heat but they aren't scorching.

 

Does that beer have a character/flavor of peppers or just some noticeable heat or both?

I are a dumbass, I some how did the math for .3 lbs DERP, no experience with the beer personally, but 1/2 oz of dried chilis should be pretty noticible

Interesting. This is not really my kind of beer but a stout with vanilla, chocolate and peppers? Hmm.

Do it!

No, no. I don't want to make it... I just want to taste it. Rich has mentioned that this Hunaphu is about as hard to get as a date with Kate Upton and Mark found the other one in TX.

Also the Hunahpu clone on HBT lists this

Secondary Fermentation
30-60 days @ 60F - Bulk aging on flavor additions, and in a bourbon barrel

[*]1oz Ancho Chiles
[*]1 Vanilla bean, split
[*]1/2 Cinnamon Stick
[*]6 oz Cocoa Powder
[/list]

I have not have Bible belt so i cannot comment on teh spice but fresh Hunahpu has some spice but it is not overpowering. 

 

I have been thinking about this and I wounder if you could use something like a french press or and aeropress and use a small amount of peppers and spices with an existing beer just to get and idea of character.  Similar to what the bruery did here https://bruery.blogs...barelywine.html

I have 2 bottles of Prairie Bomb! on the way so I will be able to give the beer a taste and get a better idea what you are looking for.  As far as I can tell Bomb! and Bible Belt are similar.

Man, there's not a beer on Prairie's website I wouldn't mind sampling...

I have Bomb! and 'Merica on the way.  I have had Puncheon before and it was very nice.

Yes, Bomb! and Bible Belt are very similar beers.  In TX these suckers are on tap all over.  Every business trip I take down there I drink the hell out of them. 

 

Ken - It's very complex (Peppers, Chocolate and Vanilla) but dang tastey and interesting.

I tried Bomb! over the weekend and it was an excellent beer.  I will say though, I did not pick up the peppers at all.  At least not as much as I picked them up in fresh Hunuhpu.  I will say though, Bomb! is like motor oil, damn that is a thick beer.
