    funny thing is i actually still have 5-6 bottles of last years......

        exactly........i hand letter my bottles with the color & year......and my handwriting isn't the best.....i put a few labels on a little crooked, sometimes on purpose even......all to create a little folky mystique, in that it's a once a year, "hard to get", small batch, handmade sort of...

      last year was 220ish i think?     being on the northern fringe of pepper growing, i get weird production.....some plants are super productive, and some plants of the same variety end up giving very little.....

      i tease on social media all season.....pics from sprouts to production go up, i announce a drop date once everything is done and sales open at 8am that day.....     i learned a thing or two from the "beer release" techniques some breweries use haha

i make my sauce for the year all at once.......i tease folks on my facebook, and drop sales on one day......i usually do well, selling a bunch that first week.....i have gained a few commercial accounts, but it usually takes me a good part of the year to finally unload everything.....i still...

not sure if it matters, but i use raw agave nectar vs syrup
