Oh damn, I did indeed! Honestly, I'm kinda failing on all fronts haha. Consistency is always too thick, flavors are way off of what I'm trying to achieve. Heat is about the only thing I manage to get right, but then I don't get the pepper forward flavor I'm sometimes looking for.

I would say the Cauterizer is one of my favorite sauces. Superhot sauces are great for me, as long as they're not extract based. I like the runny/syrupy consistence of HBD sauces. Flavorwise I've got all sorts of things in the fridge, but again, 1498 and Cauterizer are great. I also like the...

I love the Heartbreaking Dawns lineup of sauces. They're usually quite sweet and have a nice consistency and heat to them. I'm looking for a recipe that has a similar profile like their Cauterizer/1498/Fervor Reaper type sauces. The idea is to experiment with additional flavors and see where I...

  Yes, I've seen that topic. Like lots of other reference it discusses temperature and barometric pressure changes. I'm certain temperatures have been quite stable in my fermenting location.   I've added a chart showing the barometric changes in my area. I've no idea if those fluctuations are...

I have 4 ferments that have been going for a little under 20 days right now. All of them took about 3 days to really get going, were then very active for about 6 days, after which things slowed down.   About 2 days after the ferment seemed to have slowed down I found all of them with negative...

Yikes, that's not all what I've seen from other (video) sources!

I've been experimenting with fermentation methods, learning as I go. I prefer the result of a fermented pepper mash so would like to continue moving in that direction.   The thing that bothers me about my mash ferments is that they need constant babysitting in the form of stirring/shaking to get...

  Man, I got my hands on one of those F.V.K. bottles and that stuff was amazing! Unfortunately they are not easy to come by it seems.

  I'll be sure to save these for later, but right now I'm only doing one big order on hot-headz. (I'm ordering with some friends to split shipping costs, I'm kinda tight on cash right now.)

  Yep, I'm already ordering some of your sauce, I knew you from the forum here so I sampled while I was in the states. ;-)   I'm really looking for the insanity heat while still maintaining that pure flavor (no extracts).

Hey y'all!   I'm doing a big order over at hot-headz.com, I fell in love with some hot sauces I bought in the USA last year on a visit (came home with over 100$ worth of hot sauce, not the souvenirs my family was hoping for! :dance: ) and just burnt through them (pun intended) the last couple of...

This topic is cringeworthy, no offence ...  :P

Yeah that is Rain Forest no doubt, looks exactly as it should from leaf to flower to pod. Have fun eating them i'd say!

I've seen a lot of topics asking what peppers have the best/worst flavor or the most heat. What I'm curious about though is what peppers would qualify as the ones with the most distinctive flavor. To me those varieties that make you say "oh hey, this is something really different to everything...

What's the flavor and pungency like? Kinda looks like Limon (the chinense one) to me...
