Morita Chipotle Chile Pepper - 1oz dried

Mortia Chipotle chiles are smoke-dried ripened jalapeno peppers with a red purplish hue and smokey flavor. Unlike most jalapenos which are picked green these are left on the plant until the end of the season when they have turned deep red. They are then smoked in a sealed chamber for several days to give them a deep. rich. smokey flavor. Chipotle peppers have a dark, dried fruit character while the smokiness of the peppers adds depth and complexity. Chipotle peppers have a Scoville heat range of 3,000 - 10,000. 1 ounce should be more than enough chiles for most batches of beer. How to use Chipotle Chiles in beer: To ensure that the chiles are sanitary before being added to beer, soaking them overnight in a high-proof neutral spirit (such as vodka) will not only aid in sanitation, but the alcohol will also help to draw the flavors out of the chiles. Once soaked overnight, simply add the entire mixture directly into the beer - don’t decant off the alcohol! Letting the beer rest for a week after this addition and before packaging will ensure the flavors are fully infused.
