Hey BurnT, I'll update this post once I know my experiment was successful. Not getting any action in my carboy yet, so I'm concerned this one may be a dud.

Not sure if things are progressing. I've inoculated my mash with yogurt whey right after it had been processed, but I didn't see any action so I hit it again. It's been 4 days, but I have yet to see anything that resembles a bubble to tell me that fermentation has started. My house stays at...

I hear ya! This stuff is dangerously good. I have people hounding me for the recipe, but I think I'm gonna keep this one to myself and make a little dough on the side.

Hey salty, check the link to the pic on the previous post. ;)

In another post, I talked about my first attempt at a pepper jam. I decided to use similar ingredients for this sauce to see how it would compare. Here's a basic ingredient list: Habaneros Sweet onion Red bellpepper Shallots Garlic Pineapple Mango Yogurt whey Salt After putting all the...

I had my first taste of a hot pepper jelly last December, and I was surprised at how tasty. This time I decided I would give it a go once I had grown enough of my own peppers. This is my first attempt at a jam, so I read up on the process then modified/combined some recipes to make my own...

I tried it, but was disappointed. For me, the heat simply wasn't there, and the taste was just, meh. Don't get me wrong, I'd eat it again if I saw it sitting on the counter at a party, but I wouldn't go out of my way to buy another bottle. The GP salsa on the other hand was a different story...

My peppers are a variety of shapes and sizes. I've run across a few that look something like the one on the left of your pic, but they are less than 50% of what my plant has produced. The others are something similar to pepper on the right of your pic, but not quite as pointy. I was expecting...

I'm growing some yellow scotch bonnets, Caribbean habaneros, ghost, and scorpions in 5 gallon buckets. All the plants have done really well IMO, but hey, I'm a noob so what do I know. Each plant is about 3' tall, and the habs have been the most prolific of the bunch to the point where I've...

Total noob here, so bear with me. I'm growing some scotch bonnets and I'm expecting their shape to be, well, bonnet shaped. By the looks of it, several of them are shaped like jalapenos, especially when still green. The bigger ones are about 1.5" long. Is this normal, or did I get some bunk seeds?

I have a few plants that have been growing for about a month, maybe a little more, and they are still puny. They are sitting on a heat mat, but I turned it off because I almost killed the sprouts early on when it got into the mid 90s. They are currently sitting in my garage. Do you think it...

Here are some pics I took this morning.   Pic 1 Pic 2 Pic 3   At this point they're about a month old and have been sitting under the grow light for 16 hours a day in my garage. They are getting a very weak concentration of fish emulsion through with a spray bottle, and it's just enough water to...

Thanks for the tips. To show you how new I am, I had to look up worm castings... :oops:. I didn't know it was something that could be purchased. I may take a stab at composting also, once I find the time that is.

The buckets are some tomatoes I transplanted over the weekend. These were planted at the same time as the peppers and were the first to sprout. It took them about a week or so before their growth rate took off. They were about 7 inches tall with about 3-4 sets of leaves before I transplanted...

Not exactly sure because I'm a total noob when it comes to gardening. What I can say is that the pic doesn't do the light justice. It is very bright and about 12" from the top of the plants. The center is definitely brighter, but I try to reposition the light every couple days to make sure they...

This is my first successful (to date) attempt at growing anything.   Last summer, I planted some seeds and kept them in my kitchen bay window. Those seemed to start off well, but I wasn't so great at watering them and they died off pretty quick. I tried again in the fall and experimented with...

Started getting into hot peppers and sauces about a couple years ago. Finally decided to start growing my own peppers, and maybe make some sauces in the near future. Have checked out this site a few times in the past, but finally decided to join. Hope to learn from some of the more experienced...
