    bottling First bottling of the season!

    Well, I made my first batch of Eternal Damnation BBQ today. It's a South Carolina-style mustard and vinegar sauce, albeit a bit thicker. Used some Reaper powder from Pepper Rich and some smoked yellow 7 pot powder from our fellow THP member, bhut camp (thanks bud!) It's also got quite a bit of...

    I need a place to find my pH testing stuff

    Hello, I was wondering if anyone had ideas of some chain stores that would have to proper pH testing materials for sauce making. I know that pH testing is used for other things, but what I don't know is if these strips would be okay to use in food practices. Thanks in advance!

I'm looking for yellow pods for an Asian sauce that I've perfected over the years. Yellow Trini's, Bhuts, Devil's Tongue, Fatalli...

    Grow bags... 7 gallon or 10 gallon?

    Hey all! I'm thinking about doing entirely grow bags this year and want your consensus on what size. I'll be using 10 gallon bags for my tomatoes, but not sure I would need that big for peppers, even the likes of Douglah. Thoughts? 7 gallon bags are 9"x10"x16"H and 10 gallon bags are...

    Container questions

    Hello all. I will be trying a hand at container growing and have some questions. There is an overwhelming number of mediums out there and I'm curious to know what you guys are growing in. I'm exploring grow bags, 5 gallon buckets (too big?) and cheap potters. I'm looking for cheap solutions...

    Masschilehead's garden of Eden

    Well, the season is quickly approaching here in the Northeast, although spring hasn't sprung yet. I'll admit that I'm "green" to growing, and I've probably picked some hard varieties for our short season, but I'm bound and determined to succeed this year. I like to think that I've learned from...

    legal FDA rules and regulations - How involved is Uncle Sam?

    Since I've started bottling my own sauce, I've done well on a small scale to friends and family. That said, I think I've got enough positive feedback to pursue a commercial license. I want to know from those who are already there, how involved is the FDA in the process? I have real concerns...

    Banking on the success of my harvest this year, I want to start a larger bottling campaign and get some exposure for my sauces. I need some help with the labeling process. For those who've done it, what did you use? Was it something you came up with yourself on your home PC? I want to find a...

    hot-sauce Hot Sauce Names

    Ok, so I'm at work looking to expand on my rather sad collection of hot sauces. What in the holy hell is up with some of these names? Colon Blow, The Hot Sauce That Killed Kenny, Wet Fart, Sir Fartsalot... Even if these sauces gave my an instant orgasm, I wouldn't buy them. I have a feeling that...
