Even though you're AG, you should give this a try. On habanero was enough to give it a pleasant sting at the end.

It added a nice, but not overpowering, sweetness to the kit.

Hi all, Just wanted to share my delightful experiment, which created a really nice nut brown ale that finishes off with a nice taste and sting of Habanero. Recipe: 500g caramel munich malt mash infused 30 mins and sparged another 30 Boiled 60 mins Amarillo/Cascade (20g each) @45 1000g DME...

Little update to this for those interested: The gravity stayed at 1.020 for another two weeks, so I racked and repitched and it went down to 1.008 after an extra two weeks. Bottled and conditioned for 2 weeks and it's tasting really good with a good head. Cheers

If this stuff is still around in a week, I would recommend racking for a few weeks before bottling.

Sorry, to "throw" in

This is an old thread and my answer might be floating somewhere else, but here it goes. I'm new at brewing and to this site, and am ready to start a Black Rock Lager and noticed I only ordered one pack of Fermentis S-23. Would it be a good idea to through in the yeast that came with the kit...
