  What would you say is ideal PH for aging?

Been a while, everyone!   This year, I have 3 gallons of Reaper, Scorpion, and Habanero mash fermenting.  2/3 (gallon) jars are done fermenting and are just aging now, and the 3rd should be done soon.  I plan on buying a small barrel, aging some Bourbon in it for a few weeks, then maturing the...

Thank you! They're in my garden, so I'm screwed. I love inland and am really primarily concerned with wind. My house is in a sandy area so we get really good drainage! Appreciate your concern! I lost a plant to a thunderstorm last year, let alone a full on major hurricane!

Team! I live in South Carolina and Hurricane Irma is en route to a likely landing here next week. Is there anything at all to be done to protect my plants? I have full grown reapers, rains, scoropions and habaneros. Staking? Cinder Blocks to keep from swaying?

  What do you suggest to raise the PH?  I'm glad I found this thread...I ordered some TigerBloom to use with my Reaper, Scorpion, Brains, Green Peppers, and Habaneros.

So, a little backstory....I started my peppers (everything from Bell up to Reapers) in early Feb, and while I was on vacation, my fiancee killed them, so I started again a few weeks ago.  They have been germinating alright so far (about 50%, the Butch T and 7-pot brain are just starting to show...

Oh snap, awesome content.  Thank you!!!  

Do you recommend any sources? I'm thinking I will start my super hots via transplant like you said, and see what I can do with my seeds. I figure I am late, but still within a window where I could feasibly harvest in maybe mid august. What do you think?

You got sprouts in 5-7 days?  Or they just developed the initial root?  

I live in South Carolina...being almost April, am I too late to start seeds now?   I would usually do beginning of February, but my fiancee killed my seedlings while I was on vacation, and then I started again with this result  

Thanks!   Yea, this will be the last year i attempt using pellets.  Can't seem to win!  Either it's completely soggy or way too dried out.  

Thanks for the input!  I'm going to try again with a tray that has ventilation in the hood/lid so I can better control temp.  I think it got too hot, combined with too much water.  I had a heating pad in addition to the lights...do you think perhaps just use the pad and leave them by a window?  

Thanks for the input.  I'll get more seeds and start again.  My thought was to do a bed of seed starter mix, and just place them in the tray with a lid, but poke some holes in the lid.  That way, still greenhouse-ish, but can vent more.  I hate getting started so late, but oh well.     Thoughts...

That's all the seeds I have right now, think those are screwed?  

Scorpion??? Anything left?  

Chili heads!   Help a brother out.  I have a wide variety of pepper seeds (Carolina Reaper, Red 7 Pot Brain, Butch T, Serrano, Red Savina, Red Scotch Bonnet, Anaheim, Jalapeño, Thai hot, cowhorn, and bell), and NONE of them are germinating.  Last year I had a huge crop.   My set-up:  I used peat...

How does this relate to liquid?  I have pepper mash and will press out the liquid soon.  Recipe I want to make calls for peppers in lbs, would I just weigh the liquid?    

All food-processed together, I'm assuming?

 Thanks man, I love the flavor that the mustard gives to it.  What about if it calls for like "4-6 scotch bonnet peppers"...just weigh those out and scale up a necessary?

Hey guys!   I've got a batch of (home grown :dance: ) scotch bonnets fermenting right now (about 3 weeks in), and am looking for a recipe to use it in.  I have made the 'traditional' "just add vinegar" hot sauce with pepper mash, but I want to make something different.     I have a hot sauce (G...
