So I had one last 1 Gallon jar with an airlock. I will say its a pain drilling through the plastic lids. Even with starting small and working up the bit size, they are brittle junk, but I digress. I was out and about picking up a few things and since there is a WF Market right by my house (albeit a crappy one) but I did find some dried bhuts from the new member AlamoPepper. I bought 4 jars, and when I opened them, the fruity pepper smell was intense and wonderful.
So I threw them into a measuring cup with a bottle of TX Riesling to re-hydrate. I added some New Mexico chili pods to add bulk and color, and rounded it out with Red Fresno, habanero, cherry peppers, I rounded that out with a purple onion and some Korean sea salt. This all went into the jar:
And turned into this, the day before yesterday:
There is more head space than I wanted in the jar, but with all the sugar in that wine, I am not too worried. If it makes it through, this is going to be one wildly good sauce.
Regardless of how the sauce turns out, I was so impressed with the quality of those peppers, I ordered some more today, in bulk. I reckon I'm gonna need a couple more carboys.

Hey, also you might want to check out Wicked Mike for some really good peppers.He grows them year round. 
There are also a lot of other people here that sell them too. 
Best of luck on your first ferment.I would go check out hot sauce making and ferment 101.Rocketman and Sasalady,Smokefire and Buddy(AKA) Terry have a lot going on in there.
