Outstanding! I do longer ferments in glass jars with fermenting lids and I've gone 8 months. Killer sauce. Two things that might help. 1. Use distilled or purified water. Any chlorine in the water can kill the lactobacillus and ruin the ferment. 2. Use fine salt that doesn't have iodine for the same reason. I realize you used Kosher salt and that's perfect but I thought I'd mention the bit about iodine. Cheers! Oh! and also, I check the pH and if its less than 4.4 I just use the brine to thin it instead of vinegar. pH testers are 10 bucks or so on amazon. Less than 4.6 is considered shelf stable.

Fantastic video! I too make my own carolina reaper pepper sauce. My latest bat h is very mild and made with red bell peppers, fresno peppers and Carolinas. I also added garlic and fermented it for 30 days. The mash is mediun course and after the ferment i added 40% by weight white wine vinegar, then jarred it and sirred it once per day for 4 months. Then strained it just like you did in this video and bottled it. My friends say its some of the best hot sauce theyve ever had, probably because its free.

Not a bad combination in my opinion! Let me know how it goes.
A friend makes a reaper-based sauce and tells me there's only 1% (or less) of reaper in his sauce, so I can't even imagine what a full-on reaper rush is like. But lowering the % of pepper in your sauce and mixing other things into it really makes it a more approachable sauce. I honestly don't understand how anyone can do what you did by tasting it almost undiluted like you did!

Not sure on that to be honest but I’ve used stuff that’s been in the fridge for a couple of years easy. You could probably process it like canning other foods and have it be stable for quite a while I would imagine….but I haven’t tried it so I don’t know for sure. Hope this helps! And thanks for watching!

No problem! You can honestly let it sit out for quite a while to ferment… If you have a cool spot in the basement that is kind of out of the sun then you could probably let it go for a few weeks…..Depending on what you are fermenting it in. Any sort of glass bowl or jar is good or stainless steel that is non-reactive. I would just avoid aluminum if possible….good luck and again, thanks for watching, I appreciate it!
I am preparing to make mine. I just want to know how you got such HUGE plants. Do you have a grow room during the cold season? I live in Ohio so I have May - Sept basically. I probably should start growing during the winter and then transfer in the Summer.

Hello and thanks for watching! To answer your question, no I do not have a grow room and I live in Ohio as well so I’m on the same growing timeframe. Not sure why they got so big but I can tell you what I did and then we can compare notes if that’s ok by you? I had them in full sun, well weeded, 3 foot spacing on all sides, and fertilized the plants 2-3 times total with miracle gro during the growing season. Hope this helps, good luck, and thanks again for watching!!!

I made my own mash yesterday. I smoked my mash on my pit boss smoker and used mesquite pellets. Before smoking it, I tried just a dab of it and holy fuck was it hot. I used carolina reaper, ghost pepper, Trinidad moruga scorpion, Trinidad scorpion Butch T, habanero, 7 pot brain strain, red and green jalapeno.

So fermenting is really the trick with making hot sauces? I assume it tames some of that weird fresh ground pepper flavor of just making hot sauce in an hour?
@ThisThat007
2 жыл бұрын
Yes! That’s correct, fermenting will balance out the flavors and “rawness” while maintaining the overall heat level….The nice part is that the sauce will continue to ferment in the fridge even after you’ve finished making the final sauce. The colder environment will slow the fermentation process quite a bit but it still will continue fermenting. I’m going to be shooting some videos using a different process with longer fermentation times at room temperature…stay tuned and thanks for watching!!

how do you ferment without using vinegar? all other videos i watched, everyone was using vinegar
@ThisThat007
9 ай бұрын
Vinegar slows/kills the fermentation process…you’re essentially pickling at that point. You want to ferment as I’ve done in the video here for a week or two (or longer depending on your environment and end goal) and then add vinegar to stop the process. Conversely you can also cook the fermented goodness to stop the process as well. Hope this helps and good luck!
I like to reuse my pulp to make a hot spicy Sambal. Add some fresh garlic and some vinegar to the final product and keep it think and chunky.

Love the PPE suggestions! The medical grade gloves and OSHA approved respirators might be a little over kill for people looking to do this at home as a fun project. I work with both of these types of PPE on a professional basis and think I can help elaborate what people can use. Nitrile gloves are pretty resilient, find a size that fits tight! I think this is what he meant by medical grade but the type I use aren't sterilized. A tight glove (no corners or folds anywhere on surface of your hand) gives the best grip potential and reduces slip risk while cutting. If you can put on a glove with wet hands, it's too big! As for the respirator, it's not needed if done right. Grind outside in an open air environment and let the product settle for 45 seconds at the least, care should still be taken to not inhale the dust that generates from opening the grinder.

@@ThisThat007 that respirator was NOT overkill. I've also be chased out of my house just using habaneros. The coughing fit lasted an hour. Also, Sol, the vast majority of 'medical grade' gloves aren't sterile. Sterile gloves come in individual packaging and require a specific technique to don to keep them sterile. Common misconception for people who don't work in a medical job, that gloves somehow protect the patient. They're worn to protect the person wearing them, to prevent contact with the patient and their fluids. Off on an off topic rant here, but it kills me that people have thought in the last couple of years that food service should be wearing gloves (with covid etc) ..I'd much rather they didn't because unless they're changing them in between each transaction, they provide 0 benefit to the customer, and actually prevent them from washing their hands as often as they would if they weren't wearing gloves.

We grew Reapers, Scorpion's, Ghost and Habaneros this year (Zone 5b-6a) and they all looked about dead in June, but with full sun and lots of watering (we did do a one time fish fertilizing with Epsom salts around the plants) and they took off growing. They all bloomed and fruited later than normal, but I just pulled our plants last week (about that size of This & That had) and got at least 40 Reapers... only 7 Scorpions, for some reason... around 25 Ghosts and LOTS of Habaneros (60?) . Must've been the longer warmer weather for us. Never had a pepper harvest like this year.
