Greetings chilli fans,   I am experimenting with my own truffle hot sauce recipe using fresh black truffles from France. My question is when to add them to the ferment. If I add upfront, I am concerned about losing aromas through the airlock, as well as potential contamination the actual...

So I am growing peppers. LOTS of peppers. So many in fact that i didn't do a good job labeling the individual plants. Some are easy and obvious, others not so much. I ordered some bhuts, some Jay's peach, and other super hots. Here is the first unidentified specimen:  

So I am hoping you guys can help me out, but I will preface this by saying I think a 3 gallon batch is gonna have to be tossed :( I just looked today and found my Chocolate moruga, mango, onion, blood orange sauce has some contamination. If I had to guess I would blame either the onion, or the...

Ok so this is my review of Alamo Peppers. I think they were formerly bhutjolokia.net Either way, here we go. I welcomed and contacted them, and I checked out their website. I made an order. There were peppers I wanted. I had sampled some of their Bhuts from Whole Foods. I made a sauce from their...

So I had one last 1 Gallon jar with an airlock. I will say its a pain drilling through the plastic lids. Even with starting small and working up the bit size, they are brittle junk, but I digress. I was out and about picking up a few things and since there is a WF Market right by my house...

So I was inspired by a post made by salsalady in another thread where a pink "Fluffy Bunny" sauce was made, with great success. A couple of days later I was challenged to make a pink hot sauce, saying it can't be done. I said not only could it be done, it could be done by Christmas.   After some...

So I am pretty pumped about this one. I had 28 days on my first ferment, and wanted to accelerate the bottling so I could taste it and tweak my process if needed. This is the batch of habaneros and orange bell peppers i started the day boere (or close to that) joining this forum. Orange bell...

So this has been discussed a little elsewhere but I figured it might be useful to make a dedicated thread, for my own benefit of being able to go back and review. We all like hoshaker bottle?t sauce right? And the healthful effects of spice are pretty well documented. But so are the health...

Question, has anyone had success without using brine or any salt at all? The other day I made two batches to test (Serrano and Yellow Bell, And Habanero Mango). I wanted to see the difference with pure pepper flavors and trying out a less spicy blend. Anyways, I did this at around 11:30 PM after...

Hey everyone. Even though my IP address shows me in DC, I'm just visiting and am from Spicewood, TX. I've been a fan of peppers and hot suce my entire life but didn't make my first batch of hot sauce until about a month ago. From that point, I started doing my research, looking to make it better...
