Anyone else make fermented hot sauces?
-
Am pretty new to this but have tasted some amazing fermented sauces recently and wanted to dive in. This eve did 3 half gallon batches with a pound each of fatalii, chocolate habanero, and Carolina reaper peppers. Just using a 3% salt brine and will let them ferment 3 weeks or so before blending.

Jamieson22 I’ve never done this but I sure want to know how it turns out.

My wife makes a hot sauce with chopped hot chilis and vinegar. Technically, it is probably more of a pickled sauce.

Real nice! We don’t use hot sauce enough for me to want to make it, I don’t think…

Yeah sounds like it. This will be a lacto ferment from natural bacteria on the peppers, etc. So like Frank’s, Tabasco, and Sriracha are both fermented sauces. Usually 2 week min but many folks let them age out for months/year.
Will say never felt more afraid in kitchen than when chopping all those peppers up.

Jamieson22 that looks interesting. Ill have to talk to my youngest son and give this a try. He loves fermenting various foods and I like most commercial fermented hot sauces. Like processhead, I have only done a simple pickled hot sauce with super chilies, vinegar and some sugar an salt. I just put little slits in the peppers to allow the vinegar to penetrate faster it adds heat fast. Its shelf stable and looks cool setting on the counter or table. I added a dash of light olive oil to grab on to the capsaicins, which brings on a little more felt heat if you like it hot.

Did one more today. About a pound of Carolina Reaper, Cherries, Garlic, Ginger. And Red Onion in a 3% brine.

Jamieson22 I am curious as cdavis how it turns out. I have done pickles lacto fermented and some hot similar to siracha but not with the blends that you have.

YooperDog Will probably let these go 3-4 weeks so will come back once bottled to report. I ended up with an excess of these fermenting (ordered 6 from ebay but didn’t arrive in time so bought from Amazon as well) lids and weights so grabbed another 6-pack of half gallon Ball jars. Will likely do some pickles and kraut. Any advice on the lacto pickles?
