Had problems with my electronic thermometer, but as far as adding the serrano pepper to the bottle that turned out just as good as I had hoped

How long did you have to let the beer sit on the chili before it got spicy? Is there a sweet spot for how long the beer needs on the chili? Did you split the chili in half, and just pop it in the bottle? Thanks. I am looking to try this with a habanero ... somehow, but more like a dry hop or bottle addition, cause I don't want to boil a whole batch of chili beer!
