Looking good, like the label. How are you differentiating the model besides color? 
there's hand lettering on each bottle - e.x. "Red '15"
i used to hand number, too (11/42) but i got lazy last year
each year i try and grow peppers that i can blend, as well as ones i just want to try......i make each sauce by color, and try and mix ingredients based on flavor profile.....although i tend to undersell the other ingredients and focus on the peppers
for example the yellow has mostly fatali, devil's tongue, brain strain and yellow bean.......i added papaya, mango, pepino melon, ginger and star fruit......but you wouldn't be able to pick a single one out if i didn't tell you they were there
the town i live in is Whitefield, ME
it was settled by Samuel Ball, and originally named Ballstown
living in a town that was originally named "ballstown", i HAD to use that name in my sauce.....how could you not take advantage of that! lol

Where do you get your shrink wrap?
I'm looking for 5oz and 10oz wraps but didn't know where to look.
