This super hot variety was first discovered and spread by a American grower by the name of David Cappiello. Many Chilli growers believe the Brain Strain is as hot as the Trinidad Scorpion Butch T. The plants can get to about 4feet tall and will produce a large amount of super hot pods which might very well make you re-think again about which pepper should hold the title of the world hottest. Please be warned: be very careful when handling this pepper as it will cause some serious pain.
