This is my third shot at it, and this go is pretty damn good
I was a bit rough with my measurements, but it has
- Around 1kg of peeled ginger
- 1kg honey
- A couple of cinnamon sticks
- 2 habanero chillis
- 1kg brown sugar
- 0.5kg ldme
- Juice from 5 limes
- Zest from a couple of those limes
This one has a distinct chilli bite, although no noticeable chilli flavour.
In my previous attempts I used a small handful of birdseye chilli, but it ended up being a bit too subtle for me.
From what I’ve found, the spice level doesn’t really change much during the brewing process, so tasting and adjusting before fermentation works well.
