Hello everyone!   I've been messing around with some labels for my sauce with pixelmator.  I'm not licensed or anything.  But I want to implement the nutrition facts on my labels.   I'm sitting here scratching my head, surfing the net, trying to figure out how to get an idea what my nutrition...

Hey chilli heads, So I can't seem to get the strong garlic flavor in my sauce... I've been roasting my garlic... Would using raw garlic give me a "stronger" garlic flavor? Also I use a vitamix blender before my last 30 min simmer...you think since it's all a smooth purée without any chunks...

To any wax sealers, I know what kind of wax to use. However I heard it can be a pain in butt to unseal the wax bottle. So I would want to use a string of some sort as a rip cord. What do any of you use for "rip cords"? How do you get the rip cord to stay around bottle neck while dipping? (...

My PH meter is a Milwaukee ph56 and it says to store it wet. I bought the solution and put it in a glass. However after a week I noticed the soultion crystalized and evaporated or dried up or something. Now I have it sitting in bottled drinking water in a glass. It just seems odd to have...

If I bottled properly and have a ph of 3.5 or so, should I store bottles in fridge or pantry? Or does it not even matter?

Sauce is too thick to even go in funnel to Woozies bottles!!! I boiled it for 10 mins at 190 ( which was a problem in its own. Sauce was exploding on me burning me, going all over the floor andcounter, etc). After the 10 mins of boiling I put sauce in my double boiler. I then used a ladle...

Thinking about getting a dehydrator tomorrow... Big cold front is coming in this weekend and I need to pick all the pods. I won't have time to make all the batches of sauce until late next week. So............ If I only want to make sauce is there even a benefit to dehydrating the pods first...

Hey everyone. I just made my first batch of hot sauce. I will post pics tomorrow but right now I'm refrigerating it till tomorrow and then I'll bottle it. It has kind of a bitter after taste. That's why I'm not bottling it yet. I'm here for advice on an ingredient to use to help with this...

Tonight watching Momday night football I will attempt my first batch of hot sauce. I'm just using a recipe posted on this forum but I will take pics if people want to see it. I'm using 10oz Woozies that have the plastic cap and I also bought the plastic plugs to slow the pour down. What's the...

So I'm about to make some mini batches of different hot sauce recipes. That way I don't have to waste my harvest experimenting. What would be some ratio's to fill a 5oz woozy? Also let's say I like the sample, and would like to fill another 100 oz. Would I just multiply all the ingredients...

So this is my first year with so many plants ( 26 pots). Most of them have a lot of ripen pods and also a lot of un-ripen pods. This week some nights will be in the low 40's. I plan on making a lot of hot sauce but I am waiting for the ph meter and bottles to arrive in the mail ( might be...

I'm about to order the Milwuakee ph56. http://www.testequipmentdepot.com/milwaukee/ph-meters/ph56.htm What accessories do I need to buy along with this? They sell 4.1 ph buffer, 7.1 ph buffer solution, and 10.1 ph buffer solution separately. Do I need all 3 of these buffer solutions to...

Hi I'm about to buy a PH meter. I have no experience with them. What does PH resolution 0.1 ph mean? PH accuracy says plus or minus 0.01 ( does this mean if meter says my sauce is 4.2 that really means it can be 4.1, 4.2, or 4.3 ph)? Are these good enough specs for making hot sauce? It's...

So Im bummed out. All of my super hots either only have 1 pod on them or none at all. The only exception is one fatalii plant that has many on them. I now know my pots are to small. I'll change that for next year. Is it worth transplanting any of them now in zone 5 or is it pointless too...
