TZerot0 Only one way to find out!

Loved it! Would like to see one with additional flavors - onion, garlic, cilantro, cumin, oregano etc.

Dude, this is huge! Getting a feel for how each approach affects the flavor and opinions from the three of you was super informative. Thanks for putting this together! I have my first three ferments underway. Anxious to try them out. Cheers!

Sure couldn't tell those were your brothers :-) I think your demonstration shows just how hard it is to rank the sauces as both contradicted themselves between the blind tasting and the nugget tasting. Roasting accentuates the heat in some peppers and diminishes it in others. I was surprised that the roasted-fermented was lower on the list as in my mind I was gravitating towards it. It would be interesting to see a panel of a more diverse group give their opinions. Well done, E!

I've been watching your videos for a while, and with a abundance of jalapeños, I found this series and I'm surprised I missed it. I really likes this format and this series. You've definitely given me alot more ideas for what to do with my jalapeños. Love this!

How can someone get to that age and still eat with their mouth open

What a GREAT series ! I've always wanted to try to make a fermented hot sauce. Now, I Have to try it. You made it look not so scary or difficult. I would like to see you do something similar with Red peppers making a red sauce. Or maybe different types of Pickles...

I am very eager to try all four methods and can’t wait to taste them. Thank you!

making a fermented hot sauce out of the red jalapeños in my garden currently! its on day 6 of the fermentation process and its my first go at it! Your videos helped me a lot! I appreciate it brother!

That series I just discovered today. And I've already made a fermented and basic type of hot sauce before and they were both very good (although I used italian pepperoni in fermented one and habaneros in basic one and added onion instead of garlic to both). Now I really want to make a big batch of roasted sauce, half of that plain with vinegar and half of that fermented, so I can see how it comes out. Thanks a lot for this inspiration.

What’s crazy is when you watch Gabe try the fermented he acts like it’s the best one then he rates it as the complete worst 😂

I was about to try this myself, this video saved me a good amount of time and peppers, thanks a lot bro!

Cool series! Pretty interesting to see how they different preparations made such a difference. Have you tried fermenting a pepper mash like they do with Tobasco?

Thanks! No I didn’t try fermenting the mash, hopefully this summer!

My boyfriend and I loveeee watching your videos!! It's basically a nightly ritual for us to see if you've uploaded anything new (or dive further into the back catalogue) before bed. We just got a ridiculous haul of peppers (poblanos, yellow jalapenos, purple habaneros, and red serranos) from my mom's garden and I was looking for some Ethan inspo to use them up. I'm definitely going to suggest making some hot sauce!! Also, since we are not only fans of your cooking but you personally, it was very fun to see your brother and friend as part of the show :)

I know a lot of people extend words like this but personally I can't stop myself from reading "loveeee" as "love eeeeee". I always would have extended it by writing or typing "loooove" since that elongates the correct portion of the word, in my mind. Perhaps it's a generational thing.

Should not been given a second chance with blindfolds off knowing which sauce is which...Blind taste test fail! 😉 Fantastic series, i'm just about to start and you have convinced me to try fermented first!

Ok so what about smoking the peppers instead of roasting in the oven? lol. I just may have to try it. Great job by the way.

Loved!

Ehy @Ethan, thanks for the quest, amazing idea and videos! One question: how long can i store the closed bottles? Should i store it in the fridge? Thanks

The contest was kind of fun, but it takes away from an additional cooking segment which I think is much better!

I loved your salsa verde series. Do not know why or how I just found it if has been out for over a year. Tell me please, is there a reason you use guar gum instead of xanthum gum or gumbo file to thicken the salsa? If you explained it in one of the videos, I completely missed it. Thanks, Daren

I was waiting for "they all taste the same to me but the chicken' s good"

Really enjoyed this series. Thank you so much. Definitely will give it a go. Are there any substitutes for the xanthan gum?

You could try using mustard in your mix as a thickener or maybe try some chia-seeds (you may want to let these sit in the mix for a while to release their thickening 'gel' and then seive the mix or blend if you have a powerful enough blender). I wouldn't recommend cornstarch but I have used rice-flour (the gelatinous rice stuff that you use to make kimchi in the 'porridge' stage) but this needs heat so is suited for a cooked sauce... and you may want to cook your sauce anyway to stop the risk of further fermentation so you could try it then. Just some thoughts.

So now I have a few ounces of each thrown together, marinade over night, and then have a go at that.

Loved the series, i think you could’ve asked to rate first before guessing which is which to remove biases.

Genial study!!!

Love it 👌

Jeez im sweating just watching this

Would you consider using a liquid smoke in any of your sauces?

He said banana peppers make me sweat 😓 🤣🤣🤣

How long do these last before they go bad? - or how do I preserve it to make them last longer?

You gonna ever do best RED hot sauces nukka???

first roasted then fermented or opposite?

Uhm... I am pretty sure roasting will kill the lactobacillus in your peppers, which would be necessary for fermentation. So roasting prevents fermentation from happening.

How long can you leave the sauce in the fridge before its not good?

Maybe a video on table manners would be in order.

How many times does the host say "like"?

Why blindfold them, the bottles aren't even labeled.

Would love to see these guys try my fermented Habanero, Fresno, Caribe, Onion, garlic, carrot, peach. The heat is a creeper, but if jalapeno kicks them, it might not be for them. It has the consistency of ketchup, I don't strain. I went through a 1/2 gallon in under a month because I don't drip it on, I ladle it on. Full head sweat when you push away from the table.

I would've liked you to give the mouthy young fella a really hot sauce that would shut him up for a while.

Had to turn it off when Gabe started slapping his chops. Chew with your mouth closed ffs.

I loved this series but you should definitely work on your research design! First of all, you really shouldn't have told them what they were before rating them. I think it also would have been better if you didn't tell them what you did different before tasting. In both cases they may associate with what they think they would like more than what is best. You can clearly tell the suburban dad guy bases his opinions on what he thinks they are! If you really want to get crazy and do a double blind test it's even better if you don't even know which when they taste them or you get someone else to feed them to them. Finally I think it would be better to get a wider panel with more people that like hot etc, or you could put less habernero in the spicier ones (I know it's altering the formula) , but you have to ensure you aren't just measuring whether people like spicy food or not and ignoring the actual flavors involved. Finally I think you should add salt a bit more carefully or scientific because unlike the acidity there isn't any change to the salt levels based on the processes. You could have added salt not based on whether or not they needed salt and added it based on what you ate that day and how much you were craving salt. - we have all been there when we add a bunch of salt to something and then after you go to eat it and you realise that you made it super salty based on the fact that you drank. A ton of water and had no salt that day.

gabe is very annoying.. you should do this again without him

Taste testing episode definitely needs a better structure. The three episodes were made way better than this one. You were clearly just poking fun of your friends here

1, Chew with your mouth closed. 2, Edit your videos. So much unneeded material.

The Helen Keller jokes are abelist and discriminatory. If your editor and the guests don’t know why you need to get educated. No place for this in 2020.
