Im going to ggrow some Jalepenos this year in order to make my own Chipotles. What kind of wood is need to smoke the Jalepenos to make Chipotle peppers?

Well we talked about it the other day. She has decided toonly grow two tomato plants and a couple of cucumber s this year, so I do get to go to the garden. I need to get it the garden tilled here soon as I already have people wanting some of my Hot Sauce this year.

Well bad news I lost all my plants in this first tray of seedlings, but I did start a new set of seeds. I don't have the purple peruvians or the tabascos now. In this tray I started the Carribean Reds and some Passila Bajos. I am also going to purchase some cayenne, Cowhorn Peppers, and Jalepeno...

I have read that these pepper don't taste very good, but are pretty hot. So my question is can these be mixed with other peppers to make a nice Hot Sauce?

I was considering using 5 gallon buckets and maybe some smaller ones. How do you determine what size bucket to use for each plant. Right now the seedlings I have sprouting are Tabasco, Peruvian Purples, and Carribean Reds. What size bucket would be recommended for these. I am also going to buy...

Cool thats what i need to know.

First off let me say I know it has been along time since I have been on here, but I started a new job and have been very busy. I need some advice. I have about three different types of pepper seeds starting to sprout. They're not ready for planting yet, but trying to get ideas of how to plant...

Ok we are supposed to get hit with frost tonite. I went ahead and picked all the peppers off the plant. Now the question I have is what is the best way to let them finish ripening up. I had a lot of green pods, so any info would be appreciated.

One of the people who first tried my sauce was someone my wife went to high school with, that's kind of the reason I gave him a sample since he didn't really know me. I know a couple of the other people that tried my first batch were probably just being nice, but one of my neighbors which was...

Thank you all for your inputs. Since as of right now I am making small batches I will probably start out with pH strips, unless I can find a pH meter really cheap. But since as of right now I am just making it for friends and family I will definitely be getting some strips.

Thanks Chili Monsta. I maybe able to get access to a commercial kitchen here in town. Like i said though it is going to be at least a year before I can even start making it commercially. Since I will have to palnt a whole lot more plant next year. So that's why I am starting the research now, as...

I may even try to contact a couple sauce makers here locally to ask for advice as well. I am wanting to start small maybe start selling at farmers markets, festivals and such. I am basically just trying to do something to bring in a little extra income.

I have started doing some research, but with my current job, we have gone through a lot of changes and it has been hard to do all that i need to do.

I too would like to know more of the ph testing. Especially since I am wanting to try to start selling my hot sauce on a small scale startin next year.

What's the best way to check the ph level. I normally boil the peppers then blend or should I blend first check ph and then boil?

Yeah I am definitely going to cut down on the vinegar especially after this last batch I made. Had a little too much vinegar and the sauce separated. It still taste good just didn't like the separation.

Thanks guys I think the rest should be ready to pick here soon. Especially now that we have finally received some much needed rain.

Thanks roadhouse, I am just trying to finish harvest all the peppers off this plant to make one more batch of hot sauce. I already have harvested a bunch, but I am going to wait til I get them all before making another batch.

Do I need to wait until the peppers are completely ripe before harvesting them or can they be harvested green? If harvested green will they still ripen off the vine? I still have a bunch of Red Hot Chili's left on the one plant I grew this year and am wanting to harvest them, but most are still...
