Ok so i'm throughly confused on this subject.
Some people boil their blended peppers before setting them up to ferment, other don't because it kills the fermenting bacteria.
Some say just add salt, others say add enough to create a protective coating on top of the pepper concentrate.
Some say...
we're getting similar weather here in nyc.
the weird thing is my habs just started setting again after having been released from them bi-weekly heat waves.
While the roof is accessible, the only way to get there is through a super steep ladder positioned 5 inches from a 25' high atrium-like space. i am so not risking carrying 25 pounds of promix up that unstable thing :-P
but yeah, next year i should have a yard. we'll see.
i thought about sharing with my neighbors, but the nice dude downstairs was like "screw hot peppers, i can't stomach that stuff", and the girl i didn't like moved away.
as to why i haven't shared with others: pepper greed.

The Habs have gotten so big they're almost falling over the side of the fire escape:
Here goes an update. It's been a while, so off we go:
These are all from two habanero plants. About a week and a half worth of pods.
A few still ripening:

Basically a second wave of flowers are setting now, so, come october, I'll end up with craploads of green habaneros which...
i like fresh garlic in mine, but it's only because i've been so accustomed to crappy baltimore bar wings which back in college were just loaded with garlic.
awesome :-D
while on the plant size topic, you seem to have a fair amount of success miniaturizing plants for overwintering; how small of a container have you used to successfully overwinter thus far?
:-D
Yup, I started mine along with two chocolate habs and a white hab as an overwintering project. The white hab died under identical conditions and the other two choc habs are about half the size of the brain strain plant. That thing is crazy resilient.
