    Thank you! Exactly. That was the intended design. I have to give credit to a good friend of mine who works in branding and marketing for that one.

    business I’m officially a business!

    Thanks to some help here, I’m officially a hot sauce business! Some great help from this community on more efficient ways of bottling and sourcing materials. A big thank you! Sold my first couple of wholesale cases this week, and got my online store live. Feels great! I won’t post the link for...

    Did you guys ever get around to trying out the Brewzilla of figure out another method?

    bottling Hot filling machine and methods?

    I just noticed it has a hole in the catch pan for the steam to pass through. Not a fan of moisture possibly mixing with the sauce. I’ve been using this , a pancake batter dispenser, instead of a funnel. WAY faster! I fill it straight from the pot hot, and fills about 6 bottles at a time fast...

    bottling Hot filling machine and methods?

    Basically like a large Bain Marie or double boiler with a spout. I wonder how the flow would be just from gravity?

    bottling Hot filling machine and methods?

    I just talked to some of my friends who run breweries. They said those pumps do run some of the grain and particles through it, and are designed to run boiling water, so heat is not an issue. I’m not saying they will hold up, but my beer guys say it should be fine. I’m going to try and research...

    bottling Hot filling machine and methods?

    That Brewzilla is the first one I’ve seen with a concave bottom so it will all drain. Nice. Looks like it has a pump, but I doubt it will survive pumping pulp and seeds. I may talk to some of my beer brewing friends on that. I’m guessing you were planning on bypassing the pump to gravity feed?

    bottles-jars White Shrink Capsules?

    .15¢ each at 1000ct. I can live with that. I’m contacting them about wholesale pricing so maybe better if they offer that.

    bottling Hot filling machine and methods?

    I’ve searched a good bit on here trying to find a more efficient way to hot fill than the ole’ funnel method. I’ve seen the handy filler, but I’m weary of the statement of temps not over 180. I recently got passed down a liquid filling machine from a small beverage manufacturer that used it to...

    bottles-jars White Shrink Capsules?

    Thank you. It has a great citrus pop up front, and then the heat follows. My sauces, as well as my food, are always well balanced. They’re not about extreme heat, but more of a rounded bold flavor plus the heat. Acid, salt, sweet, and spicy, all there and balanced. I’ve got a Thai bird chili &...

    bottles-jars White Shrink Capsules?

    I got some of those too for a test run. They had several characteristics I didn’t like. First, the tear away pull tab is real high up, and only tears away halfway down the cap, which just doesn’t work if you try and pour sauce out because there’s a ring of plastic sticking up past the bottle...

    Nice! Those are a tad expensive off Amazon, but they’re the Nicebottles ones, and looking at their site looks like I can order in bulk way cheaper! Just ordered a pack of those from Amazon to give them a test run. Very nice find! Thank you!!!

    I’m switching to white caps also. Got a box of them waiting on the next round I do!

    bottles-jars White Shrink Capsules?

    Honestly these ones came with some bottles I got of Amazon. I’ll be getting bulk stuff from somewhere like nicebottles for my next round. Have you used their white ones?

    bottles-jars White Shrink Capsules?

    I am processing myself, and it is a legal sauce. Not huge scale though. I’ll make and bottle 70-100 at a time. Not going to go with a co-packer. I can efficiently make enough myself to be happy with. I love being a small business with as less components, interactions (and people) as possible. I...

    bottles-jars White Shrink Capsules?

    I am using a heat gun. The black ones I use work great with it. These white ones just don’t act the same. I may go with clear ones with a white cap if I can’t find good white ones.

    Here’s a picture of the above linked ones from Amazon. This is the best result I got, using a heat gun. Most of them melted, or shrunk very uneven.

    bottles-jars White Shrink Capsules?

    Anyone know of a source for white shrink capsules or bands that actually look decent? I got these off Amazon to try out, and they shrink uneven and look like garbage on a 5oz. woozy bottle. https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B07WT6LV87?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_mob_b_asin_title My labels are white, and...
