I am about 6 days into primary with my Chili beer as below :
can of coopers draught malt
bag of brew enhancer #2
5 'hot' chilis ( from the fresh food section of woolies, franklins, coles etc)
cut with scissors into rings all but the stems into primary fermentation , ferment till finished , rack for 4-5 days and bottled.. compliments barramundi.
I got it out to see the specific gravity.... it smelt a little strange thats ok I thought Chilis and all.... but what gets me is that it is bubbling away in the glass and hydrometer ?? like a carbonated beer.... and I mean bubbles, it has more than my Ales. Strangly enough the fermenter airlock is hardly moving so not much coming out.
Is this normal has anyone seen this or know what it might be ?? I thought about it for a while and crossed my fingers and tasted a bit, nothing special but did not taste off... albeit it was a very small sample as I was unsure.
