Not quite as much as I thought I had frozen but still a decent amount to play with
 

 
apple smoked thai peppers
 

 
7pot brain strain
 

 
El Scorponero peppers of various colors
 

 
Different kinds of bonnets

• (haven't decided peppers)
• Roasted Onion
• Ground Ginger
• Apple Cider (instead of water)
• Cherries
• Apple butter
• cocoa nibs
• brown sugar
• cinnamon
• on fence about maple syrup.

[The Hot Pepper]

Kinda kitchen-sink... the cherries and cherry balsamic throw me off, I like the apple butter... thinking nix the cherry stuff, add some allspice... boom...

 

[D3monic]

back from store, got golden raisins, peaches, Bartlett pears and a few other things

 

[The Hot Pepper]

 

[D3monic]

Going to make a few small batches. Experimenting with flavors. Dried figs, raisins, mango, ect

 

[MikeUSMC]

You're doing fine, D3 hahaha

dont pay attention to this ^

The pears will go nice with the white pods, and golden raisins go great with just about anything. Try to pair the figs with some smoked pods

Either "great minds think alike" or "fools seldom differ" because I've been trying to draft up a cherry sauce lately too. I'm thinking black cherries, champagne vinegar, white Bhuts, vanilla, and prob a splash of bourbon

sounds tasty to me! I got a few more ingredients. About to make a Caribbean style sauce. El Scorponero peppers, BOC and apple smoked bonnets with frozen mango chunks, maybe pineapple, golden raisins, lemon puree, ginger, roasted carrots, onion and garlic. Maybe a little mustard powder, brown sugar and cumin

 

[D3monic]

Kinda drunk already. Just going to wing some shit see how it turns out. Ill try to weigh everything out just in case it turns out really good

Proper tequila to mix ratio

 

[The Hot Pepper]

Caramelized peach bourbon BBQ sauce boom

 

[D3monic]

in no particular order 666 grams of peppers, mango, pineapple, ginger puree, lemon puree, water, roasted onion, carrot, garlic, organic agave syrup, brown sugar,  golden raisins, kosher salt, ground mustard, cumin .. I think that was everything. Have to double check my notes. 

 

[The Hot Pepper]

the magic number!

 

[D3monic]

Turned out good, note for next time. Less vinegar more water. PH 3.65

 

[The Hot Pepper]

That vinegar hit will mellow as it melds... give it 3 weeks and it will round out...
 
That's what sucks about hot sauce making, you have to wait 3 weeks to really taste it...

 

[The Hot Pepper]

Another example, use fresh garlic and that will take over, like someone added a tablespoon to each bottle weeks later.

True, it was really tangy at first and added a 1/2 cup brown sugar to the batch that really brought it down some. I had some on nachos and it was good. I was going to make another batch but my lungs and feet hurt. I think I'll just process and freeze the ingredients for next batch and make it this coming weekend. Thinking a good super hot sauce maybe. Then again kids will be here so don't want to nuke them. I'll just play with a label for now while I relax. Took longer than I'd like to make that last batch. 
 
Side note, got a daytime hangover from drinking all day. Bleh. 

 

[D3monic]

Real quick label for the 9 bottles I made
 

 
Been having issues with avery template not lining up anymore. Will be off in several directions. Not sure if pdf setting or avery tool. 

 

[karoo]

Thanks , great write up.

 

[D3monic]

Stopped and burned some labels for the latest batch of sweet thai and Voodoo priest
 

 

 

 
Still got a few bottles of the steak sauce test batch. I really like this. If I make another batch I'll up the pepper ratio
