fermenting Fermenting moruga scorpions (newby quetion)

staycool · Sep 17, 2016

I was able to get my hands on some moruga scorpion seeds and i already planted them. I'm familiar with fermenting process but what i really want to know is can those peppers be fermented alone (adding just sea salt and vinegar to finish the sauce) or should i add some other peppers to them?

Any advice is welcome, thanks.

They certainly can be fermented alone. But some people like to add other sweet, or not so hot peppers to the mix to tame it down.

Brown sugar and a small amount of cloves cuts the heat and adds depth IMO. Otherwise it will just be a gut punch to any dish :p

That is the general idea, i intend to put it in small dripper bottles to be used in special dishes. Otherwise i'll experiment with various combinations with other peppers. Thanks, i'm really glad i found this forum.

If that is what you're looking for (capsaicin cramps :p) by all means, add some ghosts and thai burapa if you can get your hands on them. Excellent trio to ferment.

No you can ferment alone but the usuall practice is to ferment in a mash with peppers garlic carrot i like adding sundried tomato. Then after fermenting during processing you can adjust for sweet salt vinegar etc
