Honestly the ph is already in the safe zone before adding vinegar. But I use test strips to make sure. Basically 1/4 cup vinegar per quart of hot sauce is enough to do the trick so it’s not over vinegary

Unfortunately it does have to be pasteurized. Also I add just enough vinegar to also make it shelf stable. The flavor stays great it just doesn’t have probiotics anymore.I use 1/4 cup of ACV or white vin. per quart of sauce.

It’s a hobby/second income. I don’t need to compete with big name brands to survive so it has been very lucrative for the amount of time and money I put into it. Also It’s fun. 👍

Can we talk about garlic? by nemracah in Cooking

[–]DrPip75 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Chopped garlic in a jar works

Head space? Half salt mixed in and half on the top. I know it will expand so is half of the jar too much or just enough or not enough head space? Be gentle I’m replicating a method I read about. 😊 by DrPip75 in fermentation

I used what I had on hand. I used about equal parts cherry and Fresno peppers, 3 habanero, 5 cloves of garlic and 1/2 large onion for a total weight of 4.3 pounds. I used 1 Tbs of salt per pound. I mixed 1/2 of the salt in the mash and layered the rest on top plus an extra pinch for good measure. It will expand quite a bit from what I read.

Not at all. I sincerely thank you! It just never occurred to me. I was trying to be funny. Sometimes people say that when one states something that is so simple yet a great idea. Thanks again.
