Mmmm. I love jalabeneros

Hi I am Mexican!! The orange peppers are Habanero, the Jalapeño peppers are smaller and thinner, we eat them green. The Habanero peppers are hottest and they come in different colours: red, green, orange and yellow. Anyway thanks for the recipe!! God bless you!!

Lovin' this series E! Your description of lacto fermentation is the clearest and easiest to follow I have seen. And thanks for the tip on the fermentation lids.

I love all the variations you can add. Smoked salt is a great idea!

Great video, got me started trying to duplicate a poblano sauce I used to get in the '70s. Haven't got there yet but great fun and good stuff gettin there.

Did this man just hold up a bottle of Crystal hot sauce and say "I dont even know what brand this is?"

Most places in the US have chlorinated tap water which can inhibit fermentation. I let water I'll be using for a ferment sit, still overnight to let the choline evaporate out. I actually keep a jar of dechlorinated water around so I can top up ferments without needing to wait.

Nice video, gonna try this today.

What is the shelf life of these types of homemade sauces? Side note, freeze the leftover mash into blocks and use it to boost up a chili verde or a green enchilada sauce.

I just bottled my fermented sauce. I’ll let it sit for a few days then a taste off with the roasted and fresh varieties. I used Hatch, Poblano, and Jalapeños in mine.

Ethan your channel is awesome. That's all.

‘Don’t know what brand this is’ holding a bottle of the G.O.A.T hot sauce Crystal is bonkers ha

This is a GREAT series! I'm a new subscriber and looking forward to seeing your channel grow. It deserves a much larger audience! I'm currently making a couple of fermented hot sauces for the first time and I'm excited to see how they turn out. Did you test the acidity before bottling? From what I've read, you want something below 4.6 pH to preserve it (one of the sites you link recommends below 4.0). If you refrigerate or consume quickly then it's probably alright, though. Also, are you concerned the fermentation will continue in the bottles (even when stored in the fridge) and cause an explosion?

@EthanChlebowski

I appreciate it! Glad to hear you are making some of your own hot sauces. To answer, you questions: 1. I do not ph test my hot sauces. You certainly can, but between the salty environment and acidic environment in the hot sauce I'm confident in keeping out any bad bacteria. 2. Once you put the hot sauce in the fridge, it severely slows down the fermentation, I haven't had any gas build up once I bottled it and put them in the fridge. Plus I'm using them a lot so any build up is let off. I would just monitor them if you are keeping them outside the fridge and keep the cap a little loose to let off any gases. Hope that helps!

Use the dried paste like seaweed wrap with rice and shrimp ...mmmmmm 👍

I bet if you ground that dried mash it would make a great seasoning!!

Alright I got me a big quantity them thanks!! Im fermenting tabascos and lemon drop

Never seen someone use ALL the brine in the sauce before. Interesting.

was shocked, too :D

I know I’m late to the party on this, but the foam in the after product will continue to form because the product is still fermenting and the thickened product no longer allows for those bubbles to escape as freely. To stop this, raise the temperature of the hot sauce to around 200° for 30 seconds or so, let it cool, then bottle it. This will stop post-bottled fermentation

Smokes all your peppers, remove membrain as it creates a bitter taste and use a sugar/water brine, garlic, spoonfull of whole black pepper corn, 1 onion, 3 month ferment then grind up everything and do not strain, add more brine during blending to thin to your liking. I make a ghost pepper sauce like this and have months back orders on it lol

I love green Cholula but wish it was just a bit hotter. I might try this out with serranos and habaneros

what you could do with the dried stuff is grind it and make it into a spicy powder

You can do it by taste on the brine if you dont have a scale it should be salty but not ocean water salty

So I have this Peruvian pepper paste I wonder if it's similar to the left over paste.

put your drid pappers in a grinder turn it into pepper spice jar

Make Spicy Fruit Roll Ups!

Orang japalenos lmfao way to show off the brilliance

Try using the leftover pepper mash in a chili.

EC: I don’t even know what brand this is. Me: It’s Crystal. EC: It’s a pure Louisiana Crystal hot sauce. Me: It’s Crystal. 😶 Great series though!

Would leaving the mash in to make a thicker sauce be possible (like a chutney texture maybe), or would it separate and be kinda gross?

You need to refrigerate it to slow down the fermentation.

Since it has no vinegar to preserve it I'm a bit worried about storage. How long do you keep it?

The brine is full of lactic acid

I have lids just like it

I've followed the exact same recipe, albeit with yellow bell peppers instead of poblanos. I've stored it in the fridge for 3 days now, but I haven't seen any foam or bubbles or anything that might show it's fermenting. Do you have any tips? Or should I keep it out of the fridge? I've also used kitchen salt. Don't know if that makes a difference.

Keep it out of the fridge. Lactofermentation works better at temperatures between 70-80 F. It severely slows down or almost becomes nonexistent in cold temperatures like the fridge.

Drain the brine. Blend. Add water n vinegar. Or fruit with juice and vinegar

The orange ones are Habaneros ! Not Jalapenos he heee 2:37

Great video, I found it on reddit. You've got another subscriber. If I could give you a small bit of constructive criticism it'd be that while mostly the production values on the video are great there's a slightly jarring audio difference between when you're speaking to camera vs. when you're doing a voiceover, the voiceover is much louder, (at 2:23 for example) maybe take the volume down a little bit on your voiceovers in future videos? Everything else is great, you do a great job of explaining everything and I'm really looking forward to the rest of the series! I love hot sauce but never even considered making my own before.

Hey Vincent, glad to have you here. Thanks for the feedback on the audio. For the voiceover, I do it in a different room and get closer to the mic so it sounds a little better than the echoey room. I try to normalize the audio levels, but it could use some work, so thanks for letting me know! Glad you are enjoying the hot sauce series, you definitely have to experiment with making some!

IMO you should ferment twice as long, skip the thickener, and know that jalapenos aren't orange.

You should consider adding a humor element to your videos. You're already half way there with the, "I'm not even sure what brand this "Crystal" hot sauce is, the Jalapeno-Habaneros, and calling fruits vegetables (Chile's are fruits) and that was only 3 minutes in. I know you weren't trying to be funny but I think you could do really informative videos, With corrections printed in the background, and be very entertaining. I would watch that.

So I know you're the expert here, but are you sure those are jalapenos? They look like a habanero of some sort. Thin walls, the wrinkles, the color, etc.

Those are not Jalapeños :D

Why don‘t you just take 1 litre of water, then add your 2% salt and put it in the jar? no need to measure it

Them are not jalapeños

Don’t double dip

Guy doesnt know the difference between a jalepeno and a Habenero and he is teaching people how to make hot sauce which if done wrong can actually kill you.. take a look at botulism and whilst you're at it find someone who knows what they're on about for fermented chilli sauce recipes. 👍🏽

Botulism doesn't survive in an acidic environment. There is no way you'll produce botulism (or anything like it) via lactofermentation.
