    honestly, with enough acid....hot sauce is like a twinkie. I think flavor and color may change a little over time but as far as becoming unsafe to consume......a long long time.

    hot sauce neck bands

    i've been using a heat gun set to 360 degrees holding it about 4 inches away from the bottle. It works pretty good but i sometimes get a crinkles lip on the bottom or some creases that don't come out. Is there a temperature and technique that works better? lets hear some ideas :rolleyes:

    Sulphur what!!!

    I just tried a new technique on a ferment and had a sulphur smell coming off the jars after a few days. I usually cover wild ferments with cheesecloth for a few days to start the fermentation but i was going to experiment with putting the lid on as soon as the mash is poured into the jars. Loose...

    xanthan gum question

    yo italian556,  diggin you youtube vids man!! keep rocking it. Yeah man it would be nice to not have to add Xanthan but if you want a beautiful sauce that has no separation over time it is pretty necessary i think.

    xanthan gum question

    My sauce has a nice consistency without it and only has a slight separation after days of sitting on the shelf. I want zero separation so i'm going to hit my next batch with some xanthan, the question is how much? I don't want to make it too thick since the consistency is already pretty ideal...

    misc nutritional content

    is nutritional content required on hot sauce labels if you have you ingredients listed correctly? I personally just dont like the look of them. I have seen a few hot sauce that don't post nutritional content but wondering if that is a requirement that changes depending on where you are from.

    fermenting plastic barrel ferments

    Anyone have experience using plastic barrels for larger ferments? I'm pretty sure this is how sriracha does it but i'm not sure.

    fermenting Newbie needs help - first time ferment

    if you are doing a wild ferment using yeast from the air you need to leave mash in jar with only a few layers cheesecloth covering it for a couple few days. Once you start to see activity that is when you apply an airlock lid. If you are using a starter then you can cover straight away. good Luck!!

    What percent water do you like?

    the only water i use is in my fermentation brine. It is just enough to cover the mash and also adds some weight to the finished product. I cook my sauce down though so that water is reduced a bit to create the consistency i like.

    Alaska Fish Fertz

    I've used this stuff for quite a few crops and always had great results but it has come to my attention that it shouldn't be used on edibles. Anyone have any brands in mind that work well for them? organic?
