Howdy to you the fans of the hot stuff

Hi all.

I messed up and posted first in another sub thread, but I hope you will forgive me that.

Any way, along the lines of introduction. I'm an amateur pepper grower and sauce mixer.

I've been eating hot stuff for years and am sick and tired of the typical vinegar+pepper+crazy label sauce that seems to be the standard issue in stores these days.

It's hard to define what makes a 'good sauce' over jsut a hot one. While I like the heat, what I really love, is finding a sauce with a unique flavor.

It should have dawned on me long ago bit it never did, I guess I'm dense, but if there is a flourishing micro brewing community making unique and interesting beer, surely there is a parallel in the hot sauce world... and what do you know here it proof of it's existence, here in this forum.

All that out of the way, I'm off to browse posts about recipes and cooking techniques. Then to plot what to do with my crop when it ripens. :)
 
I'm in the chicago area. I'm sure there are lots of pepper lovers around. Recently the local vegi markets have started sellign hotter and hotter breeds of peppers... so someone else must also be buying. :)

I heartily recommend checking out the Reviews forum, where members and in-house reviewers have highlighted hot pepper sauces from large and small companies alike!

I assume you mean micro-brew in the sense that it's a professionally made sauce Vs a "hobby sauce" from someone's kitchen.

In any case, you should get some pointers and detailed reviews on fantastic hot sauces that suit your tastes for quality flavor profile rather than heat-only (though plenty of those are reviewed as well, some quite entertaining)

In any case, welcome aboard!
:cheers:

Ps - also be sure to check out the Hot Sauce Making forum, as there are lots of great recipes and ideas bandied about for hot sauce making, techniques, ingredients types, food safety, etc. There are also topics on safe food handling, canning, hot packing, etc.

Might help you with your plans for your harvest.
:)
