I just joined today. My current uses for peppers are on beef jerky and homebrew. I'm interested in growing peppers myself. Also plan to get some fresh hatch chili peppers later this summer, for beer and food seasoning.

Hi @Gary Boone, you use the peppers in homebrew? That is something I would not have thought of.
Welcome.

Welcome.

Chili Ales are a very popular craft beer here in the Rockies. I make a Jalapeno Cream Ale by gutting the peppers, then roast, then freeze. This creates a tasty ale with lots of Jalapeno flavor without extreme heat. I can easily vary the heat level. I plan to try the same with Hatch chilies.
