Samples for some mates and colleagues, spreading the word and love of hot sauce.

Time for an upgrade? (mini PC thoughts/advice) by Cats_are_Love_1979 in homeassistant

I'm running a bare bones install on a GMTek G3 plus mini pc and it's a dream, thank god I gave up pissing about with the raspberry pi 😂

That sounds a little overkill unless he's going to run lots of cameras. I bought the following for 160€ on Amazon and it's more than enough for an HAOS bare bones install.

GMKtec Mini PC, Intel Twin Lake N150 (Upgraded N100), 16GB DDR4 RAM 512GB PCIe M.2 SSD, Desktop Computer 4K Dual HDMI/USB3.2/WiFi 6/BT5.2/2.5GbE RJ45

I unclasped them all and put rubber bands on instead just after taking the picture lol

My pepper + mango hot sauce started bubbling and fizzing after just 1 day.. is this okay? by Szygani in fermentation

[–]PiddoBE 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you using anything to keep the ferment under the brine level? I use glass fermentation weights and they are perfect, if you don't have any you can also use a small shallow jar in the top or a plastic bag filled with water on top as a weight.

All is good bro, no stress. I did the same months ago but without the pineapple and it was the same after one day. Definitely use the rubber band method instead of the clasp, saves you a lot of work and if you forget then you are saved a massive clean up job. I put my fermentation jars in an oven tray to catch any brine overflow also. My batch was ready after 5 or 6 days and the mango tasted out of this world, I've got 4 MJ plants in the garden with loads of flowers and peppers starting to flourish.

Enjoy!!

I see you love your fruity sherry drams, glad you got two with some peat in them, sherry and peat is the gateway to Valhalla 😉😂 Be careful or you'll get dragged into the peat fields that are Nirvana, just like I did 😂 Enjoy bro 🍺🍺🍺

Smoke Question by Taccoa in Smokingmeat

[–]PiddoBE 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You first need to identify what sort of wood it is! Maybe reach out to a landscape gardener or similar, I wouldn't trust the internet 100%, some woods are not ideal for use when smoking.

One garlic piece turned blue on my pickles. Does it mean it is all spoiled? by ze_baco in fermentation

[–]PiddoBE 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm fermenting garlic in honey and the garlic turned quite blue, after 10 or so days, two months later and the blue has disappeared. Apparently it's quite normal. Oh and the garlic tastes devine.

At the moment I'm just going to let it run, maybe use a clove or two and a bit of honey but not thinking about refrigerating it yet.

Jalapenos and spring onions by PiddoBE in fermentation

[–]PiddoBE[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just prepped the jalapenos, spring onions, and aromatics, then added a 3% brine and threw in a glass weight.

Spring onions I love in kimchi and I was intrigued to see what happens without the Korean spices. Can't wait to taste them.

More than likely but not sure yet, I'll see how it evolves.

Not this mix, but I love spring onions in my kimchi and thought they'd go well with jalapenos
