What’s your go to? Mine was Danny cash 1%er but it looks like it’s no longer being made. Looking for a replacement. Nothing with extracts I’m not that hardcore
Looking for something savory but light in flavor but with big heat, preferably easy to find on Amazon or locally.
There’s a danny cash ghost reaper sauce that looks perfect but they want 12 dollars shipping on a 12 dollar bottle which is a bit much
I like to ferment mine, let nature do the preserving for me and add that really smooth lactic acid flavor/aroma
You make a 3-4% brine, cut up your ingredients, and dump everything into a big jar with some form of airlock to let excess CO2 escape. Let it sit somewhere cool and dark for a week or two, stir or shake it up a little now and then, and when it smells like the good kosher pickles from the grocery store it’s ready to throw in the blender with any last-minute spices or whatever.
You can also blend everything up at the beginning but imo it’s easier to deal with a brine than a mash.
The Serious Eats page on it is a massive infodump but the main things to know are the salt concentration and the anaerobic environment
