That's awesome! Haven't had their Buffalo yet but have 4 bottles of their stuff in my fridge. Love the Garlic Reaper (although I can only eat it in small doses lol).
They're phenomenal. They had a tent up at the Christmas Village in Philly last year and I was able to try a bunch of stuff. I didn't realize they had stuff like mustard, horseradish sauces and bbq but it was all pretty great.
That's so cool! I've had all of their garlic sauces, their Psycho Curry, and their Spicy Horseradish Mustard in addition to actual hot sauces. Really really wanna get my hands on the Headless Horseradish and their superhots. It's a gamechanger. It was a gift from either my mom or my girlfriend's mom (I can't remember now) and we buy a 20lb bag of frozen naked wings at Sam's and then do around 20 wings every sunday. 12 minutes, flip, 12 minutes and their crispy and damn near perfect.
I didn't know Chorus had a hot sauce thread!! currently fermenting peppers for my first go at hot sauce making. It won't be particularly hot, but I just wanted to see how the flavor compares to fresh
I made hot sauce for the first time on Sunday. I'd wanted to for a while and always knew what ingredients I wanted but didn't know the process or how much of each to put in so I watched a few youtube videos of people making them all different ways and took a little bit from each one based on what cooking equipment I actually had and just had a go with no expectations. Very happy to say I somehow nailed it and it tastes amazing and is my perfect spice level, I'd probably just add a tiny bit more fruit next time. I'd call this a pine-mango garlic habanero sauce.
Sounds/looks great! Care to share your process? Looks like several people are getting their feet wet with making sauces and could use the advice. Unless its a secret of course haha.
This looks delicious. My one attempt at a sauce ended very badly and it looked like loose, thin, green salsa that had been sitting out at a taco bar for months. It tasted ok but I ended up diving into pickling instead of trying to keep at sauces. This is inspiring tho.
Fried the habaneros, onion and garlic in a pan with a little bit of olive oil. Put them in a food processor with vinegar, mango, pineapple and some spices and that was it. It was a lot easier than I had been expecting to be honest haha.
Nice! I've never tried using fruit in any of mine but want to experiment some. I use the same method you do, except I toss some carrots in there too. Last time I roasted the garlic in the oven and that gave off a great flavor.
So weird I was just looking at making fermented hot sauce yesterday and was coming in here to see if anybody has done it and it's currently the topic being discussed. Weird. Trying to formulate some recipe ideas.
I love thick sauces so I was super conscious of not accidentally making it too thin so used way less vinegar/liquid than all the other recipes I'd seen knowing I could add more at any point if it was too thick. I was originally planning to do it all in the oven but thought this would be quicker and easier haha but now it's not so daunting I think I'll use the oven next time. One of my favourite sauces ever is a 'Habanero Carrot Curry sauce' by Marshalls Haute sauce so I definitely want to have a crack at that one at some point there's just a part of my brain that struggles with the idea of carrots being in hot sauce. Thanks! left the seeds in. I only used 3 habaneros and 2 jalapenos so figured it wouldn't be too spicy anyway. I got just over 3 of those bottles filled, so around 500 mls probably. After sitting with this one I think I'll add another of each chilli next time too.
@The Comfort nice, that sounds great. Carrots in hot sauce sounds crazy but they're actually in a bunch of different sauces, including one of all of our faves - Secret Aardvark!
Might have to give making my own a crack this weekend. Almost through the torchbearer garlic reaper sauce
the heatonist sauce with an ingredient never before used in hot sauce is SEAWEED!!!!!! it's labeled as a seafood marinade so i'm expecting fairly mild stuff
You got it, yeah? I'm curious to hear some reviews. 12 bucks is not bad either, I expected it to be like, 20.
Surly has had these sauces in their taproom since they started serving food, now it’s finally available to buy
