first degree red

I'm thinking a bit outside the standards. I'm looking for a nice extract recipe for a red ale, ibus around 15-18 however am wanting to use habenero peppers in the brew process. I'll probably start out on the lower end for heat, and work the intensity up. Really looking for suggestions and input as this will be my first attempt outside the festa brew kits.

Really wanting something to pair well with my bbq'd wings.

I helped a friend do a jalapeno beer this summer and it turned out awesome! Here is what we did for the peppers:

Quarter about 5 jalapenos, put them on a piece of foil and put them in the barbeque grill for about 4 minutes with it pretty hot inside. This makes the peppers soften up and start sweating out their peppery goodness. Then throw them straight in a strainer bag (optional) and into the secondary. Secondary for 3-7 days depending on how much heat you want the brew to have.

Not sure on habaneros but my buddy smoked a half dozen jalapeños and threw them in the secondary for a week and it turned out awesome, smokey with just enough spice.

That beer was indeed quite good. A sipper, but very cool (or hot

)

A guy in our brewclub (Fundy Area Brewers), made the jalapeno cream ale at Big Strange Brew. I believe he used few fresh jalapenos at the end of the boil, and then "dry peppered" it with some smoked jalapenos. It was a great brew

Since you remember it a year on, it must've been good!

I'm assuming it's the one you brought to the club meeting? I think it was at Dirt Chickens place?

What did your buddy do with the cream ale, anything different besides adding the Jalepenos? I like the idea of putting them on the grill to make them sweat.

Now to find a nice extract red recipe. I think Downs mentioned he brews mainly with extracts. Downs you have any suggestions?
