I suppose chili's could become overwhelming if left too long. I'm hoping to get the right amount of flavor/heat in only 2 weeks.

I hope my beer gets better ratings than that one. I definitely will add enough Ancho's to be present enough. Adding both thinly sliced chili's and a good amount of seeds should do the trick.

Thanks for your comments. I hope to write about it after the wedding.

Sounds great! I did a ancho chile and cocoa nib amber last year, I only did 1 gallon batch and left the chilies and cocoa nibs in secondary too long, so it became a little overwhelming. I am think f doing it again but using a Scottish base for more maltiness. Let me know how yours turns out and how much and long the chilies and nibs were in contact with the beer.
