I would say chocolate primotalii. But I remember a red moruga scorpion pepper that made my ears ring(!). RB 003 is also up there!

I would say that brine is the most foolproof method. If you keep everything submerged, you should be good. I would go up to 3,5% salt as well.

Very impressive grow and harvest! Looking good!

Hi, sometimes size does matter ;) There could be a few different reasons. The first fruits on a plant are often small. And with a short season like we have in northern Europe and with cold temperatures and little sun... you sometimes end up with just small fruits. When the plant is established...

I just watched this video on my TV last night. Incredibly well made my friend! Highly recommended!

Looking great! Its a fun way to grow :) But personally, I found it too much work to refill all the small containers. So I only do BIG kratky for peppers now, and use small soil containers for breeding projects etc Scotch brains yellow.... I miss that one. Need to put it on the list again ;)

A great glog Marc V! Scotch Bonnets are some of my favorite peppers! Im following your grow and taste reviews with great interest!

Hi Bou, I haven't been active here for a long time, but now im finally back to growing again! I hope we can exchange some seeds after the season like we talked about :) It's so fun to follow your crosses and honest reviews! Thats how we all should do it :)

I produce hot sauce for a living now, and we always make a mash like you do here. You can also experiment by adding other ingredients immediately and letting them ferment together. 5% salt should be plenty though ;) Yeast is something you probably will struggle with in the beginning. It's...

Fantastic grow my friend! So clean and tidy. It makes me happy to see your wonderful balcony! Did you ever receive the seeds I sent you?

It's sad to hear about deception, but not surprising. Not many honest vendors left. Fowler I have had only good experience with. Bought seeds from him twice, and received a lot more than ordered. I always thought he was honest, but I have seen a few people mention him in bad words lately. I...

I also grew the "wrong" Datil and was corrected when posting pictures online. Now I have exchanged some seeds with a friendly local Augustine grower (https://www.instagram.com/the_pepper_passion/) so fingers crossed! The description of this pepper sounds so delicious. Scotch Bonnets are maybe...

Sorry for my bad explanation. It depends on what you want to achieve with this fermentation. Is it only peppers that you are fermenting for conservation / hot sauce? I would prefer to take the peppers out. Give them a rinse and then use them like you had planned. If you have yeast it means...

I can't be certain from the photos, but it looks like Kahm to me. Not dangerous, but my experience is that it will only get worse, and really change the flavor. If you stop the ferment now and use a spoon to remove the top you might save it. That is what I would do. I'm really impressed that...

I disagree strongly. I only grow chilies / hot peppers for their flavor and have grown about 100 varieties every year in search of the best flavors. I have never been a big fan of c.baccatum, thats why I have only grown about 20 different varieties over all the years Ive been growing, so Im no...
