oh awesome, glad you like it!

 

Season 11 lineup announced today. Sounds great!

 

I need that Los Calientes Rojo

 

It's so flavorful. It didn't last a week for me.

 

gotta cop it

 

I forgot to tell you that we liked the sauce you sent! Any suggestions for what it goes good with?

 

sweet. uhh, i find it to be good in grain bowls and more red-meat type dishes. also pizza.

 

I've been putting Pat's sauce on anything and everything. Ate it with some tacos the other night.

 

big baller’s only

 

you should make labels for your next batch. I'd pay you for a bottle

 

i have a branding idea. it’s more laziness and probably not cost efficient for the amount i can produce

 

I hear ya. You'd probably need to make multiple gallons of it to make it worth your effort and then you have to sell multiple gallons of it.

There's a guy in the local music scene that has been making sauces and tweeting about them. He's supposed to start selling them at local shows in the next month or so. Gonna try to grab some.

 

Also, just curious... I assume the sauce is shelf stable since you mailed it to me, but I went ahead and put it in the fridge just to be sure it wouldn't turn.

How do you keep yours?

most store bought sauces I don't refrigerate because I think they taste better that way, but they also (usually) have preservatives in them

 

i, personally, refrigerate all my hot sauces. not just “mine” that i make, but anything i have in the house. they are shelf-stable, yeah, but i refrigerate

 

I'm in this giant hot sauce group on Facebook and pretty regularly there is an argument about whether or not you should refrigerate sauces.

 

currently i’m at the point where i’m always at more demand than supply, which i’m good with haha. i’m looking into ways to expand how much i can make but i doubt it’ll ever be a huge operation

 

Personally, I just prefer the sauce not to be cold when I'm putting it on (typically) hot food. That being said, if it's a large bottle, or something that's super hot that I know will be lasting me a while, I'll go ahead and put it in the fridge

 

Typically if the sauce has fruit in it you should refrigerate because it can spoil.

 

I pretty much just operate by the instructions on the bottle usually. If it says to refrigerate, then I will. I have encountered a number of sauces that will tell you that it is optional though. I feel like it can usually be an either/or unless there is a certain circumstance (like Anthony said)

 

That's pretty much what I go by, follow bottle and if it says refrigerate or has fruit, refrigerate, otherwise I don't

 

peppers are fruit

 

Shhhhhhhhh

 

Fuck you beat me to it
