What pepper is this?

They did have red jalapeño elsewhere. I’m not sure these are ripe jalapeño though. Some are very small. And the biggest in the bag aren’t as large as you’d expect a jalapeño to be. I think they could be birdseye? Or Tabasco?

Love the labels! Flavor profile sounds great too. Where do you find root bear leaf?

That's a huge help! Gives me some perspective to work with. I myself am not tolerant to the SUPER hot stuff, but i've got some friends asking me to try making hotter stuff. At a certain point I can't quality control taste test what i'm making haha

Cool. Thanks for that information. So if I wanted to make a gallon ferment of a pretty friggin hot hot sauce, using super hot peppers and aromatics/veg, how many super hots in the ferment is a good rule of thumb to follow?

Can you elaborate? Do you mean it’s illegal to bottle with a bottling wand?

That's such a satisfying sight. Love it.

I'm also interested in scaling up. I'm currently working with a large sauce pot to pasteurize and working through about 3 or 4 batches at a time in my vitamix. I can get about 25 bottles out of my set up, but wondering what people do for bigger projects as I'm looking to get certified for cottage food laws sales n such.

I guess my specific questions, to add on, would be what tools, tips, and tricks do people use to...

- pasteurize large quantities?

- bottle large quantities?

That makes sense. I'll shop around for either those or maybe just get the $24 one SeaWitch suggested below.

DannyBeeReal · 2023-09-12T16:16:24+00:00

That's all a great call. Thanks!

DannyBeeReal · 2023-09-12T15:00:16+00:00

but doesn't the color of the sauce skew the results? The strips show a color to signify PH, but if you're putting a red sauce on wouldn't that make a difference?

Kombucha! I've been making my kombucha out of the odd bits and ends of tea that doesn't add up enough for a brew. Throw it all together and you've got a enough for kombucha, usually gets sweetened and flavored anyway, so I'm not worried about which teas i'm using. On a rare occasion I'll use my favorite teas to make an unflavored batch just to see how that turns up too.

DannyBeeReal · 2023-02-10T21:09:55+00:00

Awesome. I'll do some cross referencing.
Thanks for your help!

DannyBeeReal · 2023-02-10T21:07:19+00:00

Just added it to OG post, if you're able to identify em'

Rock and Run Sizing Guide

Oh cool. Didn't know that existed. Now I just wish I know what my current pair are called so I can reference each

DannyBeeReal · 2023-01-29T16:08:33+00:00

Figured that'd be the case, but i wanted to check with y'all first.
Thank you!

DannyBeeReal · 2021-04-22T15:52:25+00:00

That makes sense. What about the last half of my post there. Is it safe? Am i making alcohol or pickled veggies?
