I sat them out in the sun for two days, and they dried out, but the material is a bit thin and got very flakey...definitiely not something I'd package sauces to sell directly to customers, face to face.
i think i can salvage them and use them for mail order items though.....
hopefully, there...
Waited and waited for a deal to come along. Bought 150 of these bad boys in hopes of having a nice gift box for the holidays.
Basement floods in last rain storm basically ruining all 150. Trying to dry them out but I think it's gonna be a lost cause.
Wish I could end this post with the...
Ack...
Not sure I have too much to offer.Fi
First thing that popped into my head is why was the site & inventory being sold. Raised a red flag in my brain.
Was this person running his business successfully or was it failing and they were looking to unload it?
Did you look over their books...

but you are right as well....I do plan on a much milder spicy salt as well...I had secured a nice batch of reaper flakes (while in season and available), so I jumped.....
It's not a passion project by any means, but it was easy to put together & relatively inexpensive to put together, and just a different kind of 'spicy' ware to offer at my table for the people who immediately dismiss the idea of 'hot sauce'....Just trying different things, that can be done on a...
So, before the end of the summer, I'm gonna be putting out my reaper salt. ready for production.
from day 1, my thought process was going with a coarse salt and bottling with a grinder top.
then I saw this ... and really liked the whole mason jar idea....
Going with a course salt in...
Speaking of shrink bands...
What are some other outlets outside of let's say 'SKS' in securing some shrinkbands...
Looking for my salt grinder bottles ( 84 mm x 54 mm Clear Shrink Bands )
SKS only shipping option starts at $15.00 for a package that weighs less than 2-3 oz.
Im not...
if they exist, obviously....
i could go with powder, but actual reaper flakes kind of fit my need more....
not huge quantities, but if anyone has any leads outside of the obvious locations, it'd be much appreciated...
When someone will come to your table, and you say a 'Hello' or 'How are you doing today?', and they don't even acknowledge you back.
From a customer standpoint, i get it! By saying 'Hi' back, you are kind of quote/unquote allowing a dialog to be started where I can try and sell you on my...
Looks like the competing PA Pepper Jam is not even happening, which is nice for us! Maybe they worked out their differences?? weather report is looking promising!!!
I like 'mustard bbq' personally.
I also like the idea of keeping it 'somewhat' vague. let the flavor tell it all.
my daughter loves 'ranch salad dressing' on her chicken nuggets.... virtually all the bottles i have paid attention to in the salad dressing aisle refer to them as salad...
I love your attention to detail and you really seem to think intently about every aspect of the sauce and the label portions, but I kind of also agree that you may be over-thinking at points, and giving the customer a little too much credit, and in my head, I mean that in a good way.
I have...
So, www.hotsaucebox.com is having their $1 box special (promo code: 1buckbox15-02) not sure how long it is going on for..
I'm flip flopping on whether to pull the trigger on 100-200 or so...
In regards to regular mail order I do throughout the year, I have had a pretty much 97-99% success...
Cool cool.
I wish I remember what I had read and the reasoning against...Maybe the pepper/vinegar combo (in most sauces) break down the plastic quicker? I dunno....I go through tasting sample bottles rather quick, so I think I am in fine shape! thank you kind folks.
I know this had been discussed (and the topic probably started by me) over a year ago, but I can't find it.
This past weekend at the NYC Hot Sauce Expo, I decided to take notice on how many of the vendors were sampling their sauce to customers. Virtually 'everyone' was doing it out of a...
I know my Jack the Reaper came in 4th in the Fruit-Super Hot Category, missing 3rd by 4 votes...
and my Blackberry Belle placed 6th in the reg. fruit based category...
