I've had a few questions on how I set up my ferments - thumbnail is a basic setup I have now, other setups are similar in makeup but much greater variety in jar volume. I use anything from 1/2 quart to 1.5 Gal barrel - all ferments have the same gasser/bubbler mechanism and most have the same make of glass weights except the 1.5 gal that uses split ceramic crock weights.

Here we have (from left to right):

Chocolate Reaper and Chocolate Ghost - 1qt; Red Reaper and Ghost - 1/2Gal; and Thai and Serrano - 1qt

Here is a quick run down of the yield in the first two, to include cross-sections of the superhots: Raw mats (pic8.co)

my only reservation in adding wood to the brine is how it may impact the both the pH and the overall biome over time. it's just something I'd need to research further to include trying a control soak this year. I do however smoke peppers over (so far just cherry wood) and then complete the dehydration for making pepper 'dust' to add to other things for a sweeter, smoky heat.

Yeah I was surprised that beer and wine were both mild acids.
