Step 1: The Beginning
The ingredient list is quite short, water sugar, chili peppers, yeast.
Wash your chili peppers and then chop into small pieces, ending up with 3-4 cups worth.
Put the Chili pepper pieces in a pot with enough water to cover them, bring to a boil then let simmer for 15-20 minutes.
Remove from heat and let cool.

Step 2: The Middle
Once the Chili peppers are cool put them into a large sterile jug, You can use an old 5 gallon water jug.
Add 1 to 1 ½ gallons of water and 5 pounds of sugar.
Mix thoroughly till all the sugar is dissolved.
Add 1 yeast cake (cake yeast is roughly equivalent to 1½ to 2 teaspoons instant yeast or 2 to 2¼ teaspoons active dry yeast) and a water airlock to the bottle or a balloon if you don't have one.
Stir every few days.

Step 3: The End
After letting your wine set for 10 days to 2 weeks it is time to bottle. By this time all of the heavy solids should have settled to the bottom leaving a nice clear yellowish brown wine on top and the peppers on the surface.
Make sure your bottles are clean and sterilized!
I siphon the wine out though a coffee filter into separate bottles. You can place a dried pepper into each bottle after filling for that extra zing.
The longer it sets sealed in the bottles the better it will be.
Use as a nice cooking wine for a little spice or drink like regular wine but in small doses.
