| | I read an article on here about pineapple vodka to which you added a cayenne chillie towards the end of the "cooking" time, now I can't find the instructions….arrrrrrh. Any one have any idea's how long the chillie should be in the brew?….. might have to be a tasting experiment. thanks |

| | Welcome Jan . Sounds like you might be just looking for an excuse to sample the brew  . Must admit the only alcohol I have done so far is to make marrow rum. | |

| | Don't leave them to long, after some time they will devlop a rancid taste- if you ever see the Ukrainian vodka brand Nemiroff that is chillie flavoured,(and has honey in it also) there is always at least one chilli in the bottle, and when fresh it is red, but after a reasonable time it goes brown and eventually almost washed out- at the brown stage it is already rancid, and the vodka is also browner in colour rather than golden from the honey. Most commercial producers use a chillie essential oil extract to give the bite and a few chillies for visual interest. | |
