So I'm just over 30 days into my ferment now, and it's starting to get some darker color near the top. I assume this is somewhat normal? Check out the picture below:

Sometimes I mix bbq sauce with ranch dressing, then add hot sauce till the heat/ flavor is right.. Hell, sometimes i even mix different hot sauces with all that!  It has never failed every time  :drooling:

I ordered a 3 pack of sauces: Cherry Popper, Killer Swarm and Cosmic Peach    They all have a great color and fantastic smell that gets the tastebuds watering. I tried the Cherry Popper first and it blasted my mouth with pure heat. The flavor of the pepper is on the forefront, with a slight...

that sauce has a beautiful color! it looks like it's glowing!

So I see you used no Airlocks.. Sorry if I am a total n00b for asking this, but is this a viable way to do a ferment without a lid/airlock for 30-90 days? I would assume it is, since you are doing it :-) Reason I ask is, the only thing holding me back from starting another ferment is because I...

Looks super interesting! Will love to follow the progress of this one  :drooling:

Here are some pictures on the 11th day into the ferment:  

I got the Sauce! I got the Sauce! It came very well packaged and secure. There was a slight delay in New Jersey and then again on Thanksgiving, but I'm super glad that it made it here! Thank you so much for your awesome generosity! I really liked the way you labeled and packed them.  First...

It may just be me.. I have been pouring Beyond Z's hot sauce on everything lately.. I think my mouth is adjusted towards the hotter end of the spectrum.

   Interesting! So in this case it would be better to not wash the veggies before placing them? Or is too much natural LAB not a good thing?  I washed the peppers very thoroughly as well.. Do they have the natural LAB too?

I want to thank Texas Blues for creating this thread and recipe!   This was the 2nd recipe that I have ever tried for hot sauce, and it came out great!    I ended up using 12 habaneros, 3 red fatalii's and 3 carolina reapers.. I realized after the fact that my brain was turned off while making...

awesome! once it starts making noticeable changes, I will be sure to update! I guess all the variables are what makes it so much fun. It will be fun to experiment with more comlex ingredients after I get a good baseline. 

This question is for folks who don't use kickstarters for their ferments.. How long does it typically take to see noticeable activity? Today is day 3 for me and it appears that tiny bubbles might be starting to form and there is a thin layer of liquid forming on top of the mash. Does the ferment...

how important is it to keep this ferment in a dark place? the light places in my house are much warmer than my dark places..

I didn't add any water, and I did not add any type of yeast. After researching other folk's recipes, such as SmokenFire, there is enough water in the peppers and veggies, and the salt helps preserve/ kick off the process i believe?  Other more experienced folks could give you a better answer...

Haha, I work on ski patrol, and I should have known to have safety precautions like that in place.. Next time I think I might even wear safety-goggles and put up tape in the kitchen to warn everybody! Good point on smacking the jar.. I should have thought of that.. It was still hot from the oven...

First off, I want to thank this wonderful community for the wealth of knowledge you all have made available.   I just joined THP today, although I have been following for the past 2 weeks or so.. I started making hot sauce this past summer, and instantly fell in love with it. I live in Alaska...

I have a feeling these might be different varieties? Yellow Trinidad Scorpion??   Chocolate Bhut Jolokia??   7 pot brown??   Yellow Bhut Jolokia??

Hey everyone!  I recently ordered a fun 1lb mix of peppers online, and I'm trying to figure out what they are.  I made a batch of Habanero Pina Hot Sauce yesterday,  http://thehotpepper.com/topic/9040-habanero-pina-hot-sauce/page-1 It came out super awesome! Has a fantastic sweet flavor...
