I love hot sauce, it’s just evil if someone did that to you.
My favorite EDC, yes I carry a bottle into all but two restaurants, is a XXX habanero sauce that’s only ~15,000 scovilles vs that abomination you had. I warn folks to step in from the shallow end when they try it. My tolerance comes from adding a little more heat to my food for 37 years.

Oh he warned me, he wasn't being evil at all but I was stupid and thought how bad could it be ? Yeah, well I found out... It took about 2 seconds to hit, I then ran to the shop bathroom and started flushing my mouth with water. That wasnt working so I actually started licking the concrete trying to scrape it off my tongue and that wasn't working. I ran back into the lunch room and he told me get some sugar.. I then ran thru the car dealership into the sales dept area where they had a coffee maker and I started stuffing my face and chewing on sugar packets paper and all. It took about 6 packets of sugar to calm it down ,then I looked around. I had salesmen, sales managers and customers all staring at me. I then, quietly and humbly walked back to the service dept. This hot sauce guy actually puts 5 drops of this lava on a hamburger and admitted to me that that he cannot taste food anymore and has to use the hot sauce to taste anything because he has been doing it for so long. I gotta tell you,, that's not going be my problem in my lifetime.

@303hunter gave me a jar of Ghost Pepper sauce, i've yet to work up the courage to dive into it. :oops:

Habanero is the hottest I normally go.

Start with a dab in stew or chili to test the heat and flavor. That’s how it starts… The first bottle of ElYucateco XXX lasted me a year. They now last me a week.

Agreed. The Ghost’s, Reaper’s and Scorpion’s are hot, but IMO don’t have as good a flavor as habaneros. I’ll use the hotter stuff in a wing sauce or chili to add some punch, but not as the main flavor.
 
Try fermenting some. It makes all the difference.

We tried to ferment some tobascos last year, didn't work out right. Our peppers didn't do squat this year but i'm overwintering a few plants inside, three of which are ghosts and are quite healthy. They should provide a large amount this year.

What exactly did you try? About two weeks ago, we ground up some red habaneros and have been letting them ferment on the counter. We had a discussion today as one jar looked to be developing Kahn’s yeast (my mother thought it was mold, which is usually colorful) though it smelled like peppers. That got skimmed off and it’s finishing in the ridge, likely too cold. I view it as a big experiment.

I don't exactly recall what we did but we had an issue with a gas lock. I'd expect trying to ferment anything right now would be difficult unless you keep your house in the upper 70s. i'll most likely do some reading this coming year and give it another go.

The batch I gave you was six peppers in six pints, and it’s kinda mild by my standards. The latest batch is eight peppers in six pints. I just gave @Tommiegirl a taste of the new batch and she doesn’t want anymore.

These ghost peppers were not nearly as hot as I thought, but still plenty hot! I’m planning on growing Scotch Bonnets and several other peppers next year and figure out a good blend.
 
Well, shit fire and save your matches as they say. :)

I’m thinking about starting some scotch bonnet seeds and trying them this year. They seem to be slightly less intense than habanero and more flavorful. The trick seems to be to ferment the peppers before making sauce for good flavor.

I’m thinking the same. We normally grow Mammoth Jalapenos, and I’m gonna figure out a happy medium between several different peppers.

@303hunter makes a great hot sauce, but it's too hot for me! 🔥

Gravity sends them down, and they gotta come out somewhere. If you play, you gotta pay!

Of you get a chance, try Apex Wings habanero sauce. It tastes great and they don’t ferment it. They mix habanero, some jalapeño and a little of one of their other sauce in a blender. It’s thick like a salsa, and much hotter in the summer.
