First let me say thanks to every single one of you guys, you rock! I appreciate it!   I will definitely buy some proper equipment if I continue with fermenting in future, including airlocks. I made 2-3% taking into account ONLY water without ingredients... Up to now I used litmus strips...I know...

Hey. I started my first ferment 3 days ago.   Ingredients I used: 3 red peppers, 1 yellow bell pepper, 6 garlic cloves, 1/2 red onion, 2-3% brine and whatever I had left of my last harvest of peppers (reapers, habaneros and bhut yolokia yellows) I made a cross with chopsticks and put them in the...

  Was thinking about habanero chocolate yes. Are they any good for hot sauce?

Hello. I'm thinking about varieties of chillies I should grow this year. Previous season I grew following:   * Carolina reaper * Habanero orange * Bhut Jolokia yellow * 7 Pot Jonah   Think I'll drop 7 Pot Jonah for this year as I really didn't like it. Would you recommend any additional pepper...

  I've been watching his channel for the last hour and a half to be honest! His channel helps a lot! However I still can't find an answer anywhere saying whether you can mix fermented ingredients with non-fermented if you want to fix the taste.

Hi. Late December I harvested the last peppers from the plants (I know, crazy for central Europe). So basically I have some Yellow Jolokias, Carolina reapers and some habaneros left.   Last time I made a hot sauce out of these ingredients, I used some sweet bell peppers, turmeric, vinegar, lime...

Thanks for everything written above! Will definitely count in your suggestions :)    For the sauces I made so far I used around 15-20 really hot peppers (reapers, ghosts etc.) for I would say 0.2 gallon of hot sauce. To me that is not as hot, but to other people I believe it is.   Also, I don't...

Hi. Over the last 2 weeks I cooked 2 different hot sauces they both turned out delicious.   Sauce #1: Based on tomatoes. Carolina reapers, ghosts etc., some lime juice, vinegar, onions, garlic, salt. Roasted, blended, simmered and then filled into flasks. Delicious but Extremely hot.   Sauce #2...

I know this is kind of late. The season is over, the batch of the sauce is cooked, however now is the time to identify these. They are not as ripe as they should be, as I harvested them early due to bad weather.   Anyway, when I got the seeds they were marked as (from left to right): EDIT: As...

Okay I cooked sauce yesterday and it turned out OK for first time. To answer some of your suggestions:   1.) I know most of you had concerns there was too much red onions. Actually, after roasting it together with garlic and peppers it just added a bit of the sweetness to the sauce. I didn't...

  Would you change tomato for something fruity? like mango or canned peaches?

For me today will be the first time ever making hot sauce. I got this recipe from my friend, and I want to know whether you would add something/change?   500g chillis (I have some reapers, habaneros, Bhut jolokias yelllow, scotch bonnets, 7 pot jonahs) 2 red onions 4 garlic cloves 2 tsp of salt...

  What's the cure for it? I don't want to put too much chemicals into my peppers.

Hi. Would you guys know what's going on with my plant? It grew great, lots of pods on it...however in last few weeks I noticed that new leaves are sort of weird and really small compared to older ones.   Also, could you tell from pods which chilli is this? The seeds were sold as Carolina Reaper...

  No offence taken. Will rethink my options for next year. Have friends who grew them outside planted directly in the soil and they had great harvest. Didn't know the choice of the soil would have such an impact, as my other chillis are doing very well in the exacty same muddy soil.

  The problem is that I had my reapers on full sun all the time, but the leaves were wilting like crazy (all the hot concrete surrounding the plant did not do any good I think).   I planted my reapers in mid december and by late february they were mostly "hibernating" 4 inch plants, then...

A little update on my plants:   As I was suggested, I flushed the soil with loads of water. I haven't used any fertilizer since I flushed the soil. Since the temperatures on the balcony could reach as high as 38°C, I moved the containers in my garden, surrounded with lots of trees for natural...

  Cheers. Will give it a thought and decide by the end of the day. My second Carolina Reaper has started doing great, also my Jolokia Yellow which is filled with pots, and they all are planted in the same soil. That's the only thing that confuses me.

  When I bought the soil it looked much lighter. After few waterings it turned out quite heavier and compact I think. Should I repot it to the more suitable soil now, or do you think it will do OK until winter?

  I planted them in the Klassman-Deilmann Containersubstrat (basically soil for vegetable).   Next year for sure I'm going to pick something else, something a bit lighter, as this one feels pretty heavy, dense and "sticky". Anyway, I hope it will be alright for this year.   Regarding nutrients...
