thinking on doing a smokey jalapeno ale anyone have recommendations on how many peppers for a 5 gal batch?

That's a hard one to answer. Depends how spicy you like it I guess. I think @jamie_savoie made a spicy Mole Sout a while ago maybe he could chime in.

What base beer are you putting this into?
For Stone's smoked porter with chili peppers they say 0.42oz in secondary for three days,or more depending on your spice preferences.

Sculpin makes a habanero IPA, though I haven't had it. Any other beers I've had with chili peppers have been porters or stouts.

Its not too bad, bit of spice, but not overwhelming. Depending on your digestive tract, it may actually be worse coming out, then going in.....if you know what I mean!!
