Laga16 and A Christmas Carol. George C Scott, accept no substitutes.



Good uisge beatha is good food.:x

Like the ice cube.

 

[poach]

Me too. The glass has a raised nipple in the center, so the spherical ice swirls around perfectly. The glass and ice mold were a gift. I thought it was kind of a foofy gimmick at first, but when I'm not enjoying my single malt neat i find it really works well.

 

[HappyHighwayman]

I find the square large cubes easier to make than the round ones

 

[poach]

And I suppose you have something against raised nipples too.:x

No but I'm sure you like typing/reading "raised nipples."

Fermented pepper hot sauce bitches!

With bonus spicy brine vinegar.

I recall you saying you blended and then fermented. Is that right? I de-seeded and then de-veined chilis and then fermented. They are waiting in brine. It was a ten day room temp ferment.

Thanks for the link on the bottles, ordered! Now spill the beans, what was the vinegar/pepper ratio? A sauce I liked a lot had onions carrots and garlic before chilis by volume. For a shakeable (out of the bottles in your example) sauce it should be just vinegar and chili well blended, yes?

Here's the mythical homegrown Chiltepin action. The mild winter weather is getting them growing again but vigor has waned. Might have to replant, again.

Aplogies for the sideways view, not sure why they do that.

I just kept adding the vinegar until it was liquidy enough to come out of the shake bottle but thick enough to be hot sauce. YMMV. So yes, it's just the chilis and vinegar blended.

The vinegar by itself is frickin' delicious. I think I ended up doing 9 days. I would shake it every day and vent the CO2.

That was me(Tabasco style). I pretty sure hh fermented first then blended.


Obligatory raised nipples

Wait wait, where is the surplus vinegar coming from? Which reminds me I have garlic brine (15 days) my buddy likes as shots (shudder) I can cut the sauce with. I will send you two scamps a baby jar for evaluation.

all the unused brine not used to blend the peppers. If I used all the brine it would have been way too watery.

Still confused J. You mean NaCl brine, not vinegar, yes?

 

[HappyHighwayman]

The liquid I fermented the peppers in. Sugar and salt water with spices. Yes.

Nakedape, any chance you have some seeds for that chiltepin? I'd live to try growing that. I remember last year I was down in Sonora Mexico horseback riding on this extremely remote ranch. We were way the hell out in the middle of nowhere and came across an old mining camp. All that was left was some random shit, a Gila Monster, and a chiltepin plant.

Yes, I have dried ones you could glean seeds from. Tricky to germinate though. I think you have to abrade them and start in paper. PM your address and I'll ship some to you for a few hobo dollars.

"The liquid I fermented the peppers in. Sugar and salt water with spices. Yes."

Got it. I'll make a few small batches with/without garlic brine for comparison.
