I may have missed something

First, I would like to say that I am intrigued by the use of Jalepenos in the secondary. With that said, your brewing intructions say to steep grains for 60 minutes; however, your ingredients does not list any grains. Was this an oversight? Thanks, Hawk

dextrine malt is a grain
Jalepenos & Grain
2007-07-14 1:31am
by adding the jalepenos to the secondary i am hoping to retain some of the sweetness and flavor of the peppers and not just the heat ... it seems from what i have read and heard that boiling the jalepenos in the wort provides only the heat and not as much of the aroma and flavor of the pepper ... of course i am a new brewer ... this being only my 5th brew to date ... as far as grain, i thought (as jawbox) that dextrine malt was considered a grain ... but again, i am a newbie ... thanks for your thoughts
Racked to Secondary

Racked the Blonde (that actually turned out darker than a Blonde) and added the peppers in a hop bag. Tasted it before the peppers were added, and it was great! I took a sample to the local brew store (still new at this and looking for feedback) and they loved it ... asked me to bring back a bottle when it's done. Tempted not to add the peppers, but I did. Decided to add 6 small, but hot, jalepenos (rough chopped) from my garden and 3 roasted "inferno" hatch chiles. Also added a small handfull of fresh chopped cilantro. Brought the peppers, chiles and cilantro to a boil in a few cups of water, then cooled and added to the secondary, water and all. That was 5 hours ago ... just tasted a sample ... it has some nice heat, but not too much ... and a slight green taste, probably from the cilantro ... will taste again tomorrow ... thinking I might move it off the peppers to another fermenter when I feel the heat is right.
Still waiting for results ...

Sampled after 24hs of peppers in secondary ... heat was right so I racked to third fermenter ... bottled eight days later ... still had a bit of a vegetative flavor ... heat was good ... sampled at 7 days and there was no carbonation ... vegetative flavor had subsided ... but the overall flavor was not as wonderfull as before the peppers ... will brew this again without the peppers, but hope over time this batch will mature ... good experiment either way ...
