How to make sauce hotter???

H

Hothotsauce

I just made a nice sauce with pineapples peaches vinegar water and habaneros. For 40 ounces total liquid by volume I used 6 orange habaneros. I thought this would be spicy (comes down to .75 habaneros per 5 oz woozie.) but it really is just a mild-medium sauce. There is some heat at the end of you use a lot, its more like a spicy sauce than a hot sauce. The flavor is spot on. How do I make this hotter without adjusting other ingredients? I thought maybe double the habaneros (1.5 per 5 ounce woozie) or mix in X (fill in the blank) teaspoons of ghost pepper powder? Add some red jalapenos? Thank you. I want it hot but not stupid hot and still focusing on flavor not just insane heat.

As you well know, Reggie, being a good arbitrator is a valuable skill. 
 
However, as you no doubt also know all too well, there are some for whom it is a wasted effort!
 
Nice try, but on sites like this, some people are just destined for ignore lists and eventual banning.
I don't pretend to understand people who so feed on the attention they get from being abusive - and not worth my time anyway.  He's not here to contribute, learn or educate - there is a much different agenda in play.

      Has anybody else experienced salty foods/sauces seeming less spicy? That's how it always seems to me. When I'm making chili or Puerto Rican beans or something spicy, I usually add the salt towards the end, if needed. It always seems a little less spicy after I up the salt. Just anecdotal, but I've definitely never noticed the opposite.
     As far as it being widely known that adding salt increases spiciness, I'm pretty sure that's just horseshit.

I think Chilero may be thinking of the opposite, which is, capsaicin may activate the salt receptors of the tongue, making some foods seem saltier. So you can reduce salt in your foods if you spice them. This was a recent study and promoted by the American Heart Association.

Interesting, sometimes I get tacos that seem undersalted but a squeeze of lime will give me the perception they've been properly salted

This actually proves my point, in reverse, but who really cares? 
 
I am only being an asshole here to make a point. 
 
Don't be dicks.  I am a WAY bigger asshole than most of you can even comprehend. That's not what I came here to do. 
 
If you want, we can measure, but it wont end well for you. 
 
Or we can have reasonable disscusion about normal shit and react the way normal people do.  
 
Either way, I want my minutes back. 
 
Bleh.

     You can also just substitute hot peppers for the lime and get the same effect!

funny thing is that the first ten times "add more peppers" was suggested I laughed my ass off and was like - yeah of course, right? 
 
I only suggested the salt because dude wanted to kick it up at the end without adding more noise...
 
Naturally all I got was noise, in response. 
 
Lame.

Exactly. Proves your point in reverse. Like when you say it is true, the reverse is, it is false. This concludes our broadcast day, I'm glad you agree.
