busy weekend comming up

This comming weekend will be very busy. I have a meeting on Monday to get my sauces ready for production.I need all my recipes, detailed lists of ingredients, and samples for them. If all goes well I should be running my first "professional" run in about a week or so. After that the product goes to the "Food Scientist" and Analysts to check out product stability, nutritional values etc. so when they are done then we will do a larger second run and then it will be ready for sampling and taste tests!!!

I went to a local farm market and ordered a case of Habbies and the guy looked at me as if I was nuts. He said it was a rare request????? HHHMMMMMMM
 
Hey Dyce,
Great to hear that!! And thanks for all the input on the incubater kitchens, I might be next.
Hope all goes well for you and look forward for a great sauce from you.

Great to hear Dyce,
In the future, to cut down on costs, you may want to try dried habs. Many here will poo poo the idea, but in the Defcon world, they are much easier to work with (for extraction pruposes of course, you don't have to deal with getting rid of all the fluids). Plus the fact they have a much longer shelf life. If you are interested, try the following site. We met these guys at the Fancy Food show in NYC this year, and they are pretty good.

No prob on the kitchen info.......Thanks for the info Defcon I will check into dried. I got a good deal on the case I bought around 7 bucks for a great mix of yellow, green and red Habaneros....Well a bit of news....today I had the day off. I ran a batch of Hot Sauce. I wanted the samples to be fresh. Turned out great. Glad I did a new run I altered the recipe aq lil and.....WOW it turned out awesome!!!!!!! Very "fruity" flavor that quickly turns around and kick ya right in the mouth!!!!! I made a small batch up I got 12 4oz jars.

7 bucks??? for how many pounds???
 
well had my 2nd meeting today and everything is looking great!!!! They tested all my sauces and they are safe for human consumption!!! We are now working on a tentative date to do our first COMMERCIAL production run. I am told that seeing that it will be my first run, it will go a lil slow but we should be able to process 1200 bottles in 8 hours (the gentleman I am dealing with said thats a bad day, about 3000 on a good day) that it will cost me $0.10 per bottle processing (not including the cost of bottles and ingredients. He said we should be at around $2.00 per bottle with everything. So that should keep the finish price down some.
