I'd second what CAPCOM said.  Before you buy a bunch of seeds that you don't know that you'll like, spend this summer buying a variety of fresh peppers from people on this site.  If you like a pepper, keep the seeds.  If you don't...well don't keep them.    That way you know you are growing what...

You all forgot the most important step in hot sauce making.  If you don't post any pics, it didn't happen

You are a magician, sir!

My Congo Trinidad (Trinidad Congo?) look just like yours (Roguejim) does.  I've never got one that looks like PIC 1's Congos.   Of course I got my seeds from someone on THP 4 years ago, so I can't verify their origin.  I don't even remember who it was, it was before I started writing everything...

My first ripe Brazilian Starfish...get in my belly!!!!   [Edit]  Wow, I love this pepper.  Its got good flavor...like really good flavor.  I think its the sweetest hot pepper I've ever tried.   But with a nice back note of lemon, kind of like a lemon hard candy.  The heat is pretty mild, like a...

  Hey Roguejim, I didn't realize there were more than one variety of Aji Peruvian.  I get them as a freebie from PepperLover when I got some seeds last year.  Here is the link.    http://pepperlover.com/pepper-seeds/pepper-species/capsicum-baccatum/aj%C3%AD-peruvian-detail   I don't know if this...

We finally got a bit of rain up here in Seattle this weekend.  It was nice not having to hand water for a couple days.  And this week we're back in the upper 80's.  The plants should respond nicely.   My Brazilian Starfish  is pretty loaded   This will be my first ripe Starfish.  Can't wait to...

  Hey Organic Pepper, welcome back (to this thread)!  I'm sorry to hear about your crop, so even more about a family emergency.  Hope everything is ok.  Your restart looks pretty good.  If you are gonna have a late start to growing, this is the year to do it.  Weather models show upper 70's and...

  Great point about the use of water and its effect on flavor.  The reason I'm so big on apple juice is to keep the pH down while thinning out a thick sauce.  I don't ferment all that often, so most of the time I use vinegar to lower the pH.  I've found that just vinegar (especially white...

  Thanks Bill, I have two Cheiro Roxa plants going this year, one in the sunny bed and one in the shady bed.  During our little heat wave a few weeks back the one in the shady bed dropped all its flowers, so its just starting to flower up again.  The one in the sunny bed (shown above) is...

  Thanks OCD! Based on my past history and the heat trends for this year in the Pacific NW I'm thinking I'll get 3 good harvests this year.  I usually get a small baby pod first harvest, a solid second harvest, and then a third round where half the pods are still green by the time the temps drop...

  Wow, this is pretty much the same basic template I work off for most of my sauces, except I add about a cup of some fruit and the garlic varies wildly (my cayenne sauce almost has a 2:1 ration of peppers to garlic :dance:   That's heresy!  :snooty:

Yup.  I almost never use water anymore in my sauces.  I prefer vinegar based sauces in the first place, and if a sauce needs to be thinned out or the vinegar needs to be toned down a bit, I tend to use fresh pressed apple juice.  Its got good acidity, but doesn't taste very acidic.  I do like...

Really depends.  Do you plan on storing it in the fridge?  Or just on the shelf?  If you plan on storing it in the fridge, I wouldn't worry about things like pasteurization or pH level.  Just use it within 6 months or so.   Otherwise, its gonna be really hard to tell if you don't have a pH...

The Chinense plants are loving the heat this year.  I noticed another difference between my sunny and shady bed.  Many of the flowers dropped off the Chinense plants that are in the shady bed, but not in the full sun bed.    Last year I had a beautiful MOA plant, thanks to BPWilly.  It was big...

I'm pulling 1 or 2 pods a day now.  Nothing too impressive but still tasty.  This year has been interesting, most of my plants skipped the whole 1st round baby pod thing and went straight into full sized pods (not that I'm complaining).  My Fatalii gave me a couple baby pods, but that was it.   ...

Made this one last year. It's a Calypso Fatalii sauce and it's pretty darn awesome http://thehotpepper.com/topic/47710-turbos-slog-hot-sauce-log-with-a-silent-h/?p=1152253

Kimchi Jalapeno Poppers   Just finished making a batch of homemade kimchi this weekend, and decided to try it mixed into some jalapeno poppers.  It was absolutely awesome!  

Maybe?
