I posted this in Hot Sauce making but apparently it was the wrong sub-forum and the topic was simply locked rather than moved. I'm re-posting here. So buying and shipping drums of thick liquids has become too cost prohibitive for me. Shipping costs SEVERELY cut into my margins. What are my...

So shipping drums of thick liquids has become too cost prohibitive for me. Shipping costs SEVERELY cut into my margins. What are my alternatives? Find another supplier that's willing to come down on shipping? There's already a severe shortage of suppliers that deal in...

I wanted to give a quick plug to www.planetlabel.com. I don't work for them, but I found their 5163 glossy labels exactly fit the bill for what I wanted. They're quality stuff, check 'em out. Who do you guys use for your labels?

A buddy of mine has this plant and is trying to identify it. He lives in Sydney Australia. He said: What are these?

Everybody does the 5 oz. bottles, but I want to do 8 oz. The standard 5x3" size label seems to be the norm for 5 oz. bottles, but is there a better size for 8 oz. bottles? Maybe I'll just wrap some paper around the bottle later and trace out what size I'd like. :cool:

Cooking up large batches of hot sauce and straining them by hand isn't going to scale up well to larger scale production. What is the best option for cooking up larger batches of mash and straining? What would let me constantly feed mash mixture through, blend it into a liquid sauce, and...

What sorts of things are needed for taking a hot sauce to the commercial market in the USA? Besides a business license obviously. Do you need FDA stamps of approval? I found this... http://www.fda.gov/F...ies/default.htm Where do the Nutritional Information stickers come from? What about...

Many of my sauces tend to separate in the bottle. It appears solids sink to the bottom, and liquids float to the top. It's not a huge deal, give it quick a shake and it's back to looking "correct". I understand many hot sauce makers add Xanthan Gum to help w/ homogenization and prevent...

I'm looking for a good supplier of bottles. Doesn't have to be the traditional 5 oz. size, in fact I'd prefer if they weren't. I've found a few online suppliers a while back but seem to have lost my bookmarks. Halp!

Comexa does many different kinds of mash in HUMONGOUS bulk, but I'm not quite there yet. I'm thinking something like a few small buckets of various types to get my recipes right before I scale up. Anyone sell pepper mash for reasonable prices in smaller quantities?

I just had some relatives return from Mexico. I only had two requests - salsa Yahualica and Tequila Almendrado de Orendain (Los Dos Gordos). The hot sauce is impossible to find state-side - I've been looking for an importer for years. I found a cached picture of it on the web ONCE, on the page...

I'm going to put together a DIY aeroponic cultivation setup soon using a closed system with nebulizers and a liquid nutrient mix. Perhaps a compost tea? At any rate, I'm going to use it to grow Chinense variety peppers indoors, but I'm unsure of how to best germinate the seeds in preps for...

I'm a hobbyist hot sauce maker right now trying to do and learn as much as I can. I have a blog where I write about my findings (My Hot Sauce blog), and am very active on Google Plus. I'm definitely going to read as much as I can from you guys/gals here, and hopefully can contribute back in a...
