I was hoping to do an wheat beer, but my local supermarkets weren’t stocking those. Instead I’ve just put on a “wheat inspired” draught beer - Cascade’s Spicy Ghost. I added Coopers Brew Enhancer Type 2 again - I’m not sure if it really makes things better, but it certainly doesn’t make it worse! There’s no sense messing with something that’s not broken.

A previous <a href="http://www.markstaples.com/2005/09/25/bottling-the-chilli-and-lime-lager/#comment-17" rel="nofollow">comment on this blog</a> said one chilli per bottle was too much, but on <a href="http://www.homebrewandbeer.com/qanda/qanda.html#chilli" rel="nofollow">another blog</a> they said one per bottle worked great. Chilli varies so much in how hot they are, and people like different levels of heat. For me, next I reckon I'll chuck one hot chilli in the fermenter, leave it there for a couple of weeks, take it out, and bottle it normally.

Bottling is always a laborious and lengthy process of washing, sterilizing, filling, capping, and then cleaning up. But there’s a feeling of satisfaction when it’s over and you’ve created a few cases of beer. In a few months they might be drinkable. [...] […] Yesterday I bottled my Chilli and Lime Lager.
