So I have a bag of dried habs and was trying to figure
out a way to make powder out of them w/o having to buy
something to grind them up (am I cheap ?, YES). Anybody
have ideas to grind them up. I do have a coffee grinder
that I stopped using since I stopped drinking coffee.
Its not the kind with a spinning blade, it crushes beans
as they go through it. I thought about chopping them up
then dumping them into my pepper grinder, does that sound
like it will work o.k. ?
On another note, I am now drinking my hab stout, which I
made a few weeks ago. I only used 4 dried habs in the boil
for about 90 min. It isn't hot at all, but it has a hint
of chile in it. Not too bad. One thing that is strange
to me is the color, normally with the ingredients I used
it should have been much much darker. Does anybody know
if there is something in chile's that would effect the color
of beer ? It came out to be more of a dark amber/orange
color.
