Batch 20 Hot Sauce Progress – Entry 5

By Published On: October 19th, 20200.7 min readCategories: Garden, Projects

It’s been such a good year for the hot peppers that after this past weekend’s additions, I filled the five gallon fermenter nearly eight weeks ahead of schedule.

I could just stop with the fresh pepper additions and let it run, but the pepper plants are still flowering and loading up with peppers, so I’m going to see if I can get Batch 20 all the way to 10 gallons by adding another fermenter and splitting the peppers between them.

I think it’ll be interesting to see if they start to differ from each other, especially after the toasted oak is added.

As to what I’m going to do with 10 gallons of hot sauce when it’s finished next spring, that I haven’t figured out yet.
