Started these two for hot sauces. On the left is Jalapeno and the right is Habanero/pineapple.

Very Nice! You might want to put a catch tray under those bad boys because they be lookin a little too full. Brine level should be about at the jar shoulder.
 
...and Welcome to THP!

Looking good!
Catch tray would be wise since you have them fully filled.

The picture angle is deceiving, the brine level is just below the neck just over the glass weights. There's about 1/2" head space and have been fermenting just under 2 weeks. I think they will be just fine.

Looks good!  I just harvested enough cayennes for only 1/2 pint but I've got them fermenting.  Can't wait for the first sauce of the season.
 
I'm going to have hundreds of habs.  What was I thinking?!

Looking great! Out of interest what was the approx. ratio of ingredients for the habanero/pineapple ferment? I'll soon have plenty of habaneros on my hands...
 
And    from the Côte d'Azur.

Bag and freeze them - it's the way of these things...    I'm in the same position: a "reasonable" number of plants back in Feb/Mar has turned into a jungle at my end! Still can't wait to get the different sauces fermenting away.

I used approx 1.5 pounds habaneros, 1 fresh pineapple, onion, and garlic.

I failed at changing my profile picture. Said the file was too big. I am sure picture files have changed a lot since this site was built / updated. Not complaining by the way. Just an observation.

Blended the Jalapeno ferment up with 1cup of the brine and 1/4 cup white vinegar. The taste is similar to Tabasco Green sauce but not as vinegary, very good sauce.
