Notes

Spice Addition #1—Steep in whirlpool
½ habanero chile, dried, chopped
4 whole guajillo chiles, dried, chopped
2 whole ancho chiles, dried, chopped
2oz (57 g) Saigon Cassia Cinnamon chips or sticks

Spice Addition #2—Post Fermentation “Dry Spicing”
¼ habanero chile, dried, chopped
0.5 oz (14 g) Saigon Cassia Cinnamon chips or sticks
1 oz (28 g) cacao nibs


Mash at 150°F (65°C) for 60 minutes. Collect the wort and begin a 60-minute boil with a single hops addition for bittering only. Cut up the chile peppers and steep the chile pepper blend and cinnamon chips in a nylon bag in the hot wort for at least 10 minutes after the boil is complete. Ferment using a neutral ale yeast at 68–70°F (20–21°C). When the final gravity is reached, steep the “dry spices” in the fermented beer for 3–5 days.
