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.
