Just got some peppers in the mail.







Help on ID would be appreciated. The first is a reaper and the second a 7pot brain strain. Not sure about the others.

How/where do you order fresh (not dehydrated) peppers through mail?

Baker's Peppers

order at your own risk...that's all I will say. I got mine fine but there was some fishy business regarding the shipping and tracking of the package.

 

[Tiber_Brew]

There are some reviews on his site that try to discredit the "bad" reviews, saying they are from competing business owners and/or growers. What was the fishy part of your order in particular? I can't find any other source(s) for fresh peppers online. It will be a couple months until my hot pepper crops are ready for harvest, so I'd love to pick some fresh ones up in the mean time.

You order through paypal and the the shipping notice email will be sent to your paypal email, not the one you use when your on the BakersPeppers site. I was looking for this email and it never came (wrong email address) The tracking said it was delivered one day before they actually arrived making me suspicious about its legitimacy. Although they did sit in my hot mailbox for like three days and are still in pretty good shape. I would say it's worth it for the $15 price tag.

OK, thanks for the tip.

Those peppers just LOOK hot. Eat one and let us know

 

[HoppyDaze]

I just ate this one. I think it's a Trinidad scorpion. Not sure if Moruga or not. It hurt! But only for about ten minutes. I hit the milk pretty early though. It helped a lot. Great flavor on these

 

[HoppyDaze]

So that wrecked my stomach. I have acid reflux and need to prepare better next time

For science!

 

[Tiber_Brew]

eating one of those suckers takes a large set of bravery organs. well done

 

[HoppyDaze]

I got more from a different source. Much better quality and variety.

That's not science but you should use the Scientific Method. You have two variables in this equation. How do you know it wasn't the milk? Try just eating the pepper and get back to us.

Got my order of peppers from Baker's Peppers about a week ago and just found this thread on hot sauces. I'm more than satisfied by the shipment. I ordered a small box of fresh 7 pot and chocolate habanero peppers. Also some dried Moruga and Jigsaw, this brought me to about half a medium box that instead of paper filler I got a variety of hot peppers. I'll try post pics tomorrow.

i confess i haven't read the thread but is anyone making fermented hot sauce? i just made my first one with some homegrown chilis.
it was
~200 g chilis, (red narrow ones the length of a finger, pretty hot but not killer), chopped finely
couple cloves of garlic (fresh harvest from friend's father in spain)
4 g salt
medium white wine to cover the chilis
bit of whey from a fresh yogurt i just made
left it 2 weeks or so, blended and strained.
it's powerful good! tangy, hot, full of flavor. i might need to adjust slightly with sugar and a splash of vinegar.

I will be growing these next season. Look how the color bleeds onto the calyx.
Bubblegum 7 Pot

Those look amazing.

Sadly, all my Carolina Reapers died this summer I do still have Jolokias and Thai Fire, along with some more moderate peppers like Jalapeno and Cayenne. Sucks, though; I was really looking forward to creating some sort of bio hazard sauce this year.

Plenty of ways to get your hands on those reapers if you want. Check out The Hot Pepper forums. Great people, great resource for growing peppers, recipes...just about anything pepper related. A lot of good vendors on the site as well.

Smallest Carolina Reaper pod on the planet?

Ugh. Shame my reaper plants died. My Ghost plant is huge, though, so at least I'll get some heat this year. Enjoy your Reaper, buddy!

 

[HoppyDaze]

You'd be surprised how much heat that little fella packed. I went for milk after about five minutes. Great flavor but amazing punch.

Do you guys age your hot sauce? I made a couple of bottles of cheap hot sauce using Japanese dried pepper pods re-hydrated in hot water, salt, garlic powder, white vinegar, and a little sugar. It sat in the bottles unused for months, because frankly it tasted kind of bland and uninspiring. I just tried it again, and aging really made it better, it was tangy and fiery, much better.
