Bower,
When I pickle hot peppers I wear 2 layers of surgical gloves when doing the peeling/handling....and have been known to wear my scuba mask so that I can't touch my nose or eyes inadvertently. (Unfortunately, pickling season coincides with fall allergy season which doesn't make for safe handling without the mask.)
I've done them in a dill-garlic brine or just garlic brine or a spice brine that my Aunt in Jamaica used to use....and I've experimented. It all depends on what combo of peppers I've got to work with....and the degree of heat and whether I'm doing mixed pepper batches or just single varieties.
