Started the carolina reapers a few days ago for a winter grow the temp is averaging 84.6-85.1F. Just fine tuning the station before planting the rest in Jan/Feb 2020.
If you happen to have an indoor grow station, you could just place the unripen peppers under the grow light for a few days to avoid them being sunburned on the window sill.
Started another batch of jerky/snack sticks. I used 4# bottom round, 1# bacon, seasonings. Most are stuffed in 16mm collagen casings and the rest shot through jerky gun.
Always wanted to take a tour of the plant, but just seeing a small portion can't justify the trip. I'll just watch the "how it's made" on you tube. Like most processing plants have that smell of what they are making, did Tabasco have that pepper/vinegar smell floating in the air?
Didn't cook the meat prior, just marinated overnight and put them in the dehydrator for about 6-7 hours @ 160 degrees. The taste was very good with a kick at the end.
