Another Tasty Sauce Made This Morning - Updated with recipe

I made another hot sauce this morning.

Here's the ingredients of the hot sauce (it was meant to be somewhat of a clone of LDHS's "Unlucky Squirrel" prototype)

Edit: Figured I'd go ahead and post the actual amounts for each ingredient

18 7 Pot Jonahs (mine)
7 Red 7 Pot Brainstrains (from cappy)
5 Jalapenos (from kroger)
1 1/4 C Apple Cider Vinegar
1/4 C Lime Juice
4 cloves Garlic (sauteed)
1 medium Onion (sauteed)
2 large Carrots
1 tsp Salt
1 Tbsp Cayenne Flakes
1/4 C Brown Sugar
1/2 C Water

Now this wasn't as good as the Unlucky Squirrel (it's tough to beat that flavor). Some ingredients were different, but I think the main reason it wasn't as good is I didn't prep the ingredients like LDHS did. He fire roasted his peppers and roasted his garlic. So I'm pretty sure those imparted a whole different flavor. At any rate, I still think this sauce tastes delicious, just not on the level of the Unlucky Squirrel. LDHS if you are reading this, DO NOT change up the flavor profile when you bring your superhot sauce into production (pretty please!).

Edit: LOL, I just realized that said I made it last night in the title, but I said I made it this morning in the content. The correct answer is I made it this morning...
 
Well, I just couldn't help myself last night. I went ahead and cracked open a bottle and had it on a steak grinder (sub). I ate a teaspoon full first to get a feel for the flavor. What's strange is no single flavor immediately jumps out. It takes a second to actually get flavor from it (never experienced that before). Once the flavor kicks in, you get a tanginess which quickly is followed by a mild sweetness (the two together are very complimentary). The sauce finishes with a mild garlic flavor. Overall, I am VERY happy with this sauce. It has a great overall taste and, IMHO, would work well with pretty much anything you would want to put it on. On the grinder, it added a great complimentary flavor and nice medium heat.
