Raspberry, chocolate & chilli wine.

My latest brainwave, only just putting it together. It tastes pretty good so far, it will be interesting to see how fermentation changes the flavours.

I've done chilli choc beer. More chilli then choc but still tasted great.

I think I may have overdone the chilli :0

How did you do the chilli? I think I sat 1 in fermenter (5L).

About 30 birds eye off my bush that I have just trimmed back for the winter. I put the cordial, cocoa powder and chillis in about 6 litres water and boiled till the chillies went soft. I should have left it at that but I didn't, I stuck a blender in and broke them up. It is going to be hot.

30 birds eyes is a lot...

 

[trubritbiker]

Ok,so it seemed like a good idea at the time.

Any update on this, I'm betting it was bloody hot!

 

[trubritbiker]

It's still bubbling away and yes it will be hot, maybe too much. I made some strawberry and chilli a few years ago and that was really nice.

Racked it off last night, tastes great. I made the unwise decision to taste the lees, boy was that hot. All the pulp from the chillies was in the choc. Something a little milder next, Yorkshire Tea wine
