Hey mate,hey paul! glad your on this website now. you definately should be. i've been hearing that the infinity was 7pod crossed with the scorpion. anyway i hope seeds get out there soon. i can't imagine a chili hotter than douglah or the scorpion! that's scary.
+1 patrick1,187,182. Where did that number come from? Independently verified or is this the number that the TV station or newspaper came up with a year or so back?
Don't mean to doubt you Paul it's just people come here with big numbers but no proof. Got any?
Hey mate that figure came from Woody's last batch that he had tested at Warwick University, only going by what he has told me.1,187,182. Where did that number come from? Independently verified or is this the number that the TV station or newspaper came up with a year or so back?

Found this: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/newstopics/howaboutthat/7543281/Worlds-hottest-chilli-grown-in-Grantham-Lincs.html
Here's a quote: "Tests by Warwick University rate the Infinity chilli at 1,067,286 on the Scoville Scale.."
Was the protocol established by Dr. Borland used when measuring the pepper?
Were random pods used from the plant? Or was the sample taken from a plant that was purposely stressed in preparation for the test? Were all parts of the pepper used? Or was just the placenta used?
Being a person who takes this record heat level thing kind of serious I need to see proof before removing the current champ.
Paul I hope you don't think I was picking on you, wasn't my intent at all. Hard to know for sure on the web. Would you mind telling us what it cost to have a pepper tested?
POTAWIE I have to give you credit for the question about the protocol used, those are basically your words from a different thread about the same pepper. I'm not smart enough to come up with that on my own. Thank you.
I can understandx why a person would test a pepper, heck I would want to know if I was crossing superhots just to see if I was getting anywhere. Thing is I'm not sure if I would be telling the entire world about it, specially if I can't reproduce it consistently.
Best of luck to all involved.
I already asked Woody the exact same questions in another thread here and he doesn't know the answers although he did post links to testing results
Bhut is officilly king, but most chileheads are far ahead of Guinness and know better and Guinness can't keep up with every single hybrid out there. The biggest problem with this Infinity is that it is an unstable hybrid so its not even worth testing IMO until there is 100% true breeding which should take many more years. Anybody can cross a scorpion and a 7 pod and hype it up with a new name, but its not really anything special until you've spent near a decade stabilizing it for desired characteristics and trueness
Wow where did you get your douglah seed. I loved the butch t flavor and thought the douglah had a terrible flavorThe Douglah is second (or third) on my list of hottest behind the Trinidad Scorpion-BT, but the douglah has a much nicer flavor in my opinion
