First off, Sev, awesome to have you! You're going to have a blast with this. Happy to help with any advice I can.

If you're going to use bourbon, I'd bring it to a boil in a saucepan and flambe it. You're not going to burn off 100% of the alcohol, but you'll get most of it.   I've done a few chocolate-based sauces in the past. I came by the idea the same way it seems you did: mole poblano. 

^ What he said. It'll reduce the heat tremendously.   Personally, I like the "grow other varieties" suggestion. You can never have too many plants (he said, half tongue-in-cheek). Here are some ideas. Some of them, I haven't gotten pods from yet, so I don't know what the flavor is like, but...

Welcome! Here's hoping we have some answers.

Oh, and I'm stoked to see someone else tinkering with Aji Fantasy White. Thus far, it's my favorite.

  I've noticed that myself, especially with the supers. When my plants are nutrient-deprived and or drought-stressed, the pods tend to not only be smaller and fewer, but the shape is often off, and I don't see the bumpiness that I do when they're getting everything they need.

  I can't tell you how much I would love to claim that, but my Red Brainstrains came from seeds I got from Cappy.   This, right here, is my strongest argument for feminism.

  Hah! Remember forever and a year ago, when you asked me about Cuban varieties and I was like, "uh...Cubans...don't really like spicy...at all?"   They don't, but way to add another half dozen to my wishlist. Which reminds me, I need to plant some more Sadabahar seeds (thanks again for that...

  Damn it, you beat me to it.

I'd let it run, assuming you can safely transport it when you move. Worst case scenario, you have to prune back a slightly larger plant with slightly larger peppers that aren't going to make it.

  Wouldn't make a difference. Cross-pollination only affects the seeds, not the pepper itself. In other words, they would have been cross-pollinated in the grow of whoever you got the seeds from. 7 Pot, Scorpion, Bhut, Naga...there's no telling what's mixed in there.   The good news: while it...

Truly impressive what you've been able to do, particularly within the space you're working with and the seasonal constraints your location imposes. I'm blown away by what can be achieved with the right dedication and planning. Hat's off, sir.     You've brought up something that I don't think...

Neat pods! Gotta love those "mystery plants."
