Notes

Experimental brew using 2 Ghost Peppers and dry hopping with Russian Hops.
Made this at a "Teach a Friend to Brew Day"
with the Sangre de Cristo Craft Brewers Club hosted by Santa Fe Brewing.

The pepper went in with :15 to go on the boil and produced a nice bit of heat without any veggie flavor. The hops where smooth and subtle.

So far haven't found anyone who didn't like it and I would brew it again except I don't brew repeats. (Too many ideas, too little brew capacity!)
