fermenting Jalapeno,Scorpion and Bhut Jolokia Mash

[Sizzle Lips]

Had a rain day off work today so I put together another mash to ferment.
1 kilo green Jalapenos
1 kilo red Jalapenos
100 grams Bhut Jolokia's
50m grams Trinidad Scorpions
2 med carrots
1 med onion
chunch of fresh ginger
 
Rinsed,chopped and mixed in my starter...whey from active greek yogurt.put my mesh over the top and added my weights.......covered with brine which consisted of 4 table spoons of pickling salt and 4 cup of filtered water.....covered everything just nicely about an inch over the weights.
Placed on the heating pad ...set to low.
I will let this go about 60-90 days.

Looks great! Your post on the ring brought me over here and helped convince me that I had to start making hot sauce. You are pretty close to me, where are you sourcing your peppers? Can never seem to find red jalapeño peppers here except in late summer when they show up at farmer's markets. Looking forward to the results

I follow their progress...
 
 
You have purchased in the market Bhut jolokias and trinidad?

Thanks guys....I usually have tons of super hots but they are a little ways away yet.I have bought all my pods right from my local supermarket....Fortinos...they allways seem to have a good selection...I am not quite sure those red peppers were Jalapeno's ....there was not a single seed in the whole kilo....2.2 pounds....how can that be?

Possibly because it's early in the season?

If they weren't spicy at all it could have been these:

Yes i think thats exactly what they are....the Angello...they were a very mellow sweet tasting pepper with fairly thin walls...not one seed and hardly any membrane to speak of.Should make for a good pepper filler in this mash.

nice mash i am going to follow this, id like to see how it turns out, i miss fortinos, they dont have them out this way, i think its just in the t.o, hamilton area. out this way we have farm boy and a few other stores that might carry some of the stuff that fortino's does, but i have not come a cross super hot peppers yet. i keep looking though.
