I'm interested in adding some spicy kick to my next brew, and was wondering if anyone had any tips for adding chili peppers to their brews. Currently, I have a bunch of dried Habanero peppers, but I could conceivably go for other ones. Any advice would be appreciated. Cheers!

I can’t say that I have! I totally will try next time though. I will say though, the tincture I made with habaneros got my beer to the spice level I wanted (I order an 11/10 spice level at hole in the wall Thai restaurants if that gives any indication as to the spice level I like) but efficiency and extraction percent wise, no idea lol.
