Thanks - that is where I had gotten them before but I could not find the info in my records. I found them and ordered same. I got the shrink bands as well - I assume you just use a hair dryer on them or something?   thanks

I have a bottle supplier here in Maine but they only have black caps. I am looking for a gross of red caps and reducers too. I have looked online but am not finding anything.   thanks,   Will in Maine Rusty's Fire Hot Sauce

Thanks for all the positive input! Being from North Carolina most of the hot/bbq sauces I grew up with are vinegar based. We use an organic apple cider vinegar made from a local orchard and it really has a nice flavor compared with some white, store bought ones. If you are in Maine on Friday...

We are back in production for this year! We just got through putting up 144 bottles and the labels are going on now. We used about of each: 3 gallons apple cider vinegar; 15 pounds red hot wax type larger peppers; six pounds habaneros; 1 pound bhut jolokia; 2 pounds mixed cayennes, etc.; 17...

Thanks for the tip - just ordered from Fillmore.

Shipping for them (and other of these companies) is just nuts. Like $20 shipping for a $12 order of these. And for bottles it is totally nuts which is why I have to drive to Yarmouth to get mine! I was thinking more along the lines of someone in this crowd that had a few they might ship for the...

My bottle supplier - www.qualitycontainersne.com - does not have the orifice reducers for the bottles we are using for our sauce. They are 5oz woozy glass and I am looking for the plastic reducers that click in. Our first batch really could have used them and we are collecting ingredients for...

Hi folks, Our sauce was a great hit. My son (actually the Rusty in Rusty's Fire) sold all 140 bottles he made at this event: Common Ground Fair - YEZ Thanks for your advice! Here he is:

Thanks everyone. Being from North Carolina originally (not Maine :) folks just crammed some whole cayennes in a bottle, filled with vinegar, slapped it on the table and called it good! We are currently cooking down the sauce. I will report back the results. Basically it is about 2 gallons of...

Thanks Salsa Lady - will do! Also I am already in debt to you for the label solution. I was concerned about inkjet labels as they run so horribly when they get wet. I called Staples copy center and can get them to color laser 10 on a sheet for $1 so that should work out much better. They even...

Hi there, First thanks for all the great info I have already found on this site! I have read quite a bit and will admit some surprise at how many cook their sauces before bottling. I even got a little scared and went down in the basement and looked at my jar of sauce from a year ago! It was...
