It's a ghost pepper sauce, with the rest added for flavor & an extra kick of temporary heat. The secret ingredients I used in this one were coriander & thyme, but just a whisper of them on the finish. I love it, it's a quick favorite out of all the ones I've made so far. Cheers!

I absolutely love the Dorset Naga, it's so unique. I bought a couple of kilos from Joy last harvest and experimented with some jam, dipping sauces and a fruity hot sauce. It has been going on everything! It's just a simple pepper mash with added bell peppers, garlic, some herbs and spices, pineapple and a dash of good quality cider apple vinegar, but I'm definitely going to experiment with your suggested fermentation process next time. I also have some seeds, so I'm going to have a go at potting some up, but without a greenhouse my chilli plant growing exploits have been somewhat unsuccessful so far!

Goes great with breakfast potatoes. I also made a cayenne and Thai bird Louisiana style sauce that was a big hit. I’ve got a ghost pepper, garlic and peach ferment going right now and a few other cayenne ferments with one being half smoked cayennes and half fresh.

Always love watching these sauce videos. Funny, I was actually considering using green cardamon with one of the ferments I have going right now, so its nice to see someone else using it. Have you used clove or cinnamon in any sauces? For emulsifiers, first I tried soy lecithin, but I added too much to a couple sauces and the vinegar actually started separating to the bottom of the bottle and the mash floated. Interesting to see. But I've read that soy lecithin typically has a nasty production process that introduces a bunch of contaminants, so I've moved on to organic sunflower lecithin.

I love the flavour profile that you are creating in this recipe. The new spice that you are using is one that I am very familiar with in Indian food. I love the flavour of it the smell of it and it’s an awesome addition, as well as the cardamom I wish I’ve been using ever since I started making sauces underneath your direction keep it spicy. I’ve been following since 10,000 followers and I believe I was informing you of the sauce that I made that I thought was bitter with poblano peppers. And with your advice, I added brown sugar .5% more salt and have a cup of brown sugar and was able to redirect the flavour of a 1 gallon cook. Thanks again keep it spicy.

I've heard it pronounced every which way you can imagine, but the way I pronounce Asafoetida is usually "Hing"' ;) Glad to see a recipe using it! I've not gotten around to using it in a hot sauce, yet. I've put it in some sauerkraut though, as a way to substitute for onions in recipes. Since the cabbage can be thinly sliced, or chopped up and can have a similar texture to onions, I figured it'd be a good replacement for not just the flavor, but the volume and texture. It's worked so far in the few recipes I've tried it in, but I really need to get more done.

Also made a reaper sauce with Indian inspired flavors but we won't talk about that, my entire household was in pain before we even tried the finished product and had to keep the animals outside because the air inside the house was so spicy you couldnt take a full breath.

One thing I have been doing with my lacto ferments is to save back a table spoon or two of the brine to add it to the next batch as an inoculation of beneficial bacteria. I weigh my veg to be fermented and add %2-%3 salt and then I weigh the water and make a %2-%3 brine then I mix in my inoculation and add it to the veg. It seems to have sped up my ferments and got them to the appropriate sourness or acidity in about half the time. I also use a ph meter to test my brines before I eat the ferment.

Amusingly, I was just thinking about the various allergies I encounter in my work life (not in food service anymore). One of my former coworkers is allergic to capsaicin! The owner of the company I work for is allergic to eggs (not something that comes up in hot sauces), but his wife is allergic to black pepper. It's impossible to please everyone; but I do appreciate the effort wherever practical!

I've been making sauce for a few years now. Tragically, I somehow introduced mold into my mash and had to scrap the whole thing. Since I usually backslop to ensure good fermentation, I went with a pilot fermentation, using your vacuum seal method, combined it with smoked red jalapenos, and was scrupulous to the point of paranoia with hygiene when getting it all made. By this time last year, I had the mold sprout. Thankfully, this year's back seems mold free.

If you want to bring a sledgehammer to crack a nut, you should be able to install a tap on a plastic bucket and then bubble co2 through that. Might need to thin out the mash with some additional 2.5% brine to get the co2 to be able to bubble through. Ofc the bucket needs to be closed with the airlock filled up as well. This should get rid of all of the oxygen that can cause bad growth. To reiterate through, this is a nuclear approach with a decent initial equipment cost, and it also creates more parts that need sanitizing. Treat if like a tought experiment or a solution for when you absolutely can't afford a sauce to fail

I don't make my own vinegar, so can't really help you with that. Lemon juice is ok...but I would recommend heat processing your sauce if you use it

@Julia________ Ай бұрын

In theory, you could start with 1% white vinegar by volume. With a pH of 2.5, 1% dilution would bring the ph to 4.5 (below 4.6) assuming the other 99% is pH 7, and even lower if the other stuff is acidic (which most peppers are). That way, you can essentially guarantee no botulism without too significantly affecting flavour and fermentation

@ChilliChump Ай бұрын

Adding vinegar like that will stop the fermentation. You may as well pickle if you wanted to do that.

@Julia________ Ай бұрын

@@ChilliChump very strange considering one can lactoferment tomatoes which can easily be below 4.5, as well as other fruits and veggies that are even more acidic. As long as you don't lower the pH too far, there should be absolutely no reason for a very small amount of vinegar to inhibit lactobacillus growth. Of course, if you put something like 10% vinegar by volume it could inhibit it significantly by reducing the pH to around 3.5, but that's a pretty big difference

@ChilliChump Ай бұрын

@@Julia________ you can of course ferment when the pH gets dropped like that. But adding vinegar at the beginning of a fermentation to bring the pH down into safe range limits the amount of fermentation that will occur because you are starting at a lower set point. So the lactobacillus will be using less of the sugars up and fermenting less by the time it drops to a point that the lactobacillus becomes dormant. I have tested this and the flavour difference is vast.

I’m having issues keeping all my habaneros under brine even with ceramic weights due to it being a crock weight so not all one piece , can I use a silicone mat to help hold all chilies under mat along with weight ? Or would it have negative effect on ferment?

I really like adding as few ingredients to my pepper mashes as possible. I like blending peppers, say a bunch of guajillo with ghost, but besides maybe a quarter of a sweet onion and a few tomatillos or a tomato I don't like adding much else. I find that adding too many other flavors from spices or herbs limits the use of the sauce. I like more of a general purpose sauce where the flavor of the peppers is front and center.

I recently made a habenreo and red Fresno hot sauce and it was pretty good. I kept it simple to see how the peppers worked together ... unfortunately due to a spill pouring it into the bottle I lost almost half of it. 😢

Hi, recently I made 2 fermented sauces and something unusual happened that I cannot explain. One of the sauce was a fermented habanero sauce with pineapple, ginger, garlic, cilantro, a little apple cider vinegar and the brine from the fermentation. At first this sauce was brutally hot. but after a few days, it became a lot milder. I've been craking my head open trying to figure this out. Maybe the pineapples gave away their water after a few days diluting the capsaicin; maybe I didn't mix it well and the heat is with the solids at the bottom of the jar; maybe the lactic bacteria synthesize an enzyme to utilize the capsaicin as a form of energy or for its nitrate. I was wondering if you had a similar experience. Thanks 🙂

I guess after going through Army training and then Military Police training, the vapor when cooking doesn't really affect me. My favorite sauce of the year was a Sugar Rush stripey and fatalii sauce. I grew it all. Garlic and shallots too. Felt great!

Hi Shaun, I've been enjoying the naga monster for two-ish weeks now. I was unsure about the Cardamom, as I am not a fan, but it pairs/blends really well with the naga flavor. I am coming up to over a quarter bottle used and is the hot sauce of choice. I am from a pan Asian background and it goes really well with curries too. Would you consider making a naga pickle, have you tried the famous Mr Naga? Thanks

Thank you for the video! I always kill fermentation with heat, just to be on a safe side. I just remember that previously you never heated your sauces unless you added fresh fruites. I'm wondering what has changed?

I still don't heat pasteurise most of my sauces. I did with this one for a couple reasons...one of them being that the asafoetida actually mellows out with a little cooking. And this video was meant as a step by step guide for folks, so just showing what to do as a foolproof way to kill the ferment!

Great video! Will try to use this recipe and make some sauce on my yellow Carolina Reapers. Will add some yellow bell pepper as well since I dont have that many reapers and the sauce will be spicy enough anyway. Probably only use brine fermentation since my last mash fermentation went wrong. Tried the salt on top trick, but it did not work out. With yellow reaper and yellow bell pepper the colour should be really nice. Do you think the other spices will ruin this colour? Maybe use white pepper in stead of black pepper.

@ChilliChump 6 ай бұрын

I doubt the black pepper will discolour it much...unless you are adding a huge amount! I would suggest adding a little turmeric too, will add to the richness of the yellow.

Great video. Im a cook and a wine aficionado, I do make some amount of sauce bottelings 300x 12,5cl a year for gifts and selling at local market, all fermented. My 2 questions: I do not cook my end product at all, I blend it to the consistency I want with some added ingredients, then bottle it, and then I pasteurize it in the bottle (sous vide waterbath 73c). I feel/taste that some of the freshness gets lost if I cook it. What is your experience/felings with this? And I do remove 90% of seeds in my ferments I find that they give a harsh bitternes to the sauce when blended in the end, what are your thoughts about that? Best regards Per in Norway

@ChilliChump 8 ай бұрын

I don't like to cook my sauces especially when they are fermented. It's why I keep the temperature relatively low. Also I don't heat pasteurise some recipes because of the flavour change. Regarding seeds, some species of chillies have more bitter seeds than others, so I do remove them as well. It isn't much of a problem with these hotter varieties.

I just made one batch, using those waterlocks. I filled it so that it was up to the middle in both compartments, but after one hour its almost empty in the left one and almost full in the right. I also moved it from the fridge to the livingroom, where its around 20c, i guess thats better than 4-6c ?

@ChilliChump 8 ай бұрын

It needs to ferment at around 20'C. It won't really ferment properly in the fridge at that low temperature. And the water in the airlock will move, that's to be expected!

I'm going to have to try this sort of process. I've made hot sauces a few times and put in onions and garlic and other spices while I was fermenting. The end result could often end up shockingly metallic. It almost ruined a sweet habanero sauce I was making. I wonder if fermenting the alliums is what really did it?

I prefer not fermenting the garlic and onion with the chillies. Especially garlic, when I add that, I will do it just before final blend.

I would defrost it first, maybe even blend them for a couple minutes to get them warmed up a little. Else you just slow down the initial ferment.

Thanks for this video. I am new to this and wondering why you pasteurize if the ph is below 4.6. Is this to stop the fermentation? Does pasteurization kill the probiotic quality of the sauce? Can you skip the pasteurization? Thanks

You need to pasteurise if you add any ingredients after the fermentation completes. You would also need to pasteurise if you didn't ferment long enough.

For my commercial sauces, I will sometimes heat pasteurise depending on the final pH and whether I add other ingredients. Like I mention in the video "better safe than sorry"! As long as you keep the temperature in the range I mentioned it won't really make a change to the taste.
