fermenting Time To start Processing 73 gallons of Hot Pepper mash

2017 blessed me with over 500 pounds of Carolina Reapers, Red and Yellow Morugas, Red and Yellow Brainstrain, Primos, so after I packed my freezer, I went and bought 20 food grade 5 gallon pails added areators and started pureeing peppers. 3% salt and 11.5 inch plate for weight. 6 months later and here I am. Wish me luck my kettle never shut off today and 50 gallons left.

Next in the kettle is 6 month old Carolina Reaper and Trinidad Scorpion Moruga Mix. This smells so Good.....smells like a mellow red wine, fruity with a hint of oak.The PH is so low already.

I have a few hundred pounds in my freezer going to de-stem them and dehydrate into whole pods and the rest im going to grind up and dehydrate for flakes and powder. Should have close to 50 pounds dry when all is done
