Notes

If you like a nice pepper beer with an extra kick (but not over powering), this might be right up your ally!

A day or two before Secondary Fermentation, Roast habanero peppers over open flame until a nice char is present or bake in oven at 400 degrees for 15-20 minutes.

Cover roasted peppers with vodka or Bourbon in a sealed container and soak for at least 24 hours. (this will sanitize the peppers).
Add peppers to carboy or secondary fermentor and rack in beer.

Add in vodka or Bourbon for extra kick if desired. It will raise the avb another .5% or so.(Otherwise save the booze for some kick-ass bloody mary's!)

Also, instead of adding peppers to the secondary fermentor. You can add the peppers directly to individual bottles during bottling day. This gives a very unique flavor as well!
Experiment and enjoy
