Hey, everyone! Figured I'd fire up a homebrewing community and see if there's any takers.

I know you're out there, just as I was out there lurking on other similar sites. :D

Come here and brag with your latest creation. I'll start, just brewed an unexpected wee heavy using Eitrhem kveik.

Cheers!

I used D-47 for all of them and Orange Blossom honey. It's tolerance is 14% and thats around where I wanted it to stop but it had other plans. If you only used 2 Habaneros I can't imagine what Carolina Reapers will do.

Trying to imagine it. If it's too hot it might overpower every other flavor so I'd probably try to balance it out with something and maybe try to keep it from getting too dry. But that's just me. Do give an update whenever this is done!

I think they're hoping it will be too spicy. They're the kinda guys who go out to find the hottest thing just to say they tried it. One of them found a 9mil Scoville pepper extract. They just want to say they tried a spicy mead. So I'm just going to keep to a very small batch so I don't waste any liquid gold.
