    I've done it straight and also with chillies. It finishes with a fair bit of residual sugar, presumably because I'm topping up with spraymalt, and that chocolate sweetness works brilliantly with the chillies.

    Wow - brilliant I must give it a go.

    So the Chillies are they fresh or dried? In at the start or added later?

    Fresh, but frozen, quartered, boiled in a minimal amount of water to sanitise and then pitched in with the yeast.

    I just made a RIS with Ancho Chillies (among other additions) in it, Anchos are mild enough but still pack a lot of flavour - just right for a beer. Would recommend them to go in during conditioning stage in the fermenter.

    be careful boiling chillies! I hacked that very kit with chillies back in the day, and it was like tear gas in my kitchen.
