Made from the HP22-B Carolina Reaper, currently the hottest pepper in the world. It's loving amazing and produces a very real endorphin rush.




Also, the Carolina Reaper looks like this:


Scorpion is already out?

Does this pepper taste sweetish like the scorpion or is it smokey like the ghost?

I learned to like the super sauces by constantly chasing a dragon for endorphin highs. I have a slight problem with it now, I will seek out spicy foods or foods I can sauce up if I go a few days without any. For reference, I can smother something with half a bottle of habanero sauce and be unphased (given habaneros are quite weak and will overpower the food) Sauces with extract really really suck, they taste like lovely oil.

Melinda's Naga Jolokia

It's brilliantly flavorful, and made completely without extracts. It's not the hottest thing in the world (compared to other sauces made with superhots), but what it lacks in obscene heat, it makes up for with vibrant jolokia flavor.



(Not trying to turn the thread into a [super]hot sauce discussion. They're just my forte)
I'm a fan of Tropical Pepper Co's Ghost Pepper sauce as my day to day, a drop a bite is enough to get little bit of a burn to satisfy myself while still being able to taste the food.

I don't know if this is appropriate but I went to Quaker Steak and Lube and did their Triple Atomic Challenge. Destroyed 6 wings. The sauce itself had some flavor and heat that very quickly snuck up on you. Key is to eat fast. I thought Winking Lizard's Trinidad Scorpion Pepper wings were hotter but they're more heat than good flavor. Ghost pepper disappointed a lot.
The lube wings disappoint the hell out of me. Waiver and everything for their stupid show and they tasted like capsicum extract and don't even make you burn your bits if you don't wash up well. IMO not even as good as BW3 blazzing. I didn't know winking had a Scorpion pepper, maybe that'll be lunch.

Agreed, but it isn't offensive tasting. I just really really don't like the Quaker Lube atomic. They bring you some stupid gloves and make you sign a paper that you will not sue them and don't have a loving heart condition while the sauces doesn't even register at 500k and tastes like lovely oil.

Finding this in Canada is proving to be a challenge. Anyone have a source?
IMO don't use it, it tastes like rear end.

To elaborate, if you're going for just heat just blend the peppers that measure in > 1mil. Scorpions are sweet like a habanaro, ghost are a bit smokey, have yet to have a reaper, but capsicum extract tastes like mineral oil. If you'll ever be in a position where you don't burn the gently caress out of your mouth with a sauce that contains an extract, you will be disappointed.

I don't know about Canada, but a great example is the mad dog 357 hot ghostpepper or whatever compared to their regular ghostpepper sauce. The former has extract and is terrible, the latter isn't as hot but isn't terrible.

I tried out some of that Pain is Good garlic habanero sauce that a goon mentioned a while back and it just tastes like salt to me, not garlic. Are there any legit garlic hot sauces that taste like garlic?
Eh, I haven't found one. You could look for a garlic sauce but I think those are generally oil or mayo based.

I used to inhale the various Cajon's pepper purees, but now they're all watery rear end. Gotta stock up on the good stuff before it gets found and subsequently made to a lower standard.

Sort of related to hot sauce, but is there any appreciable difference in terms of spiciness between different colors of habanero peppers?
red = ripe = hotter although some will ripen to orange

I'm looking for the hottest possible sauce I can get that still tastes good. Any suggestions?

just look for superhots with no extract. I like Melindas Scorpion and Dave's Scorpion Pepper. Ghost I love troppical pepper co's as it's less than 4$ a bottle.

Submarine Sandpaper

Weirdly enough Dave's scorpion pepper does not use extract. Melindas makes a scorpion a little hotter than Tropical's ghost, but it's maybe impossible to do better than them for a ghost pepper sauce unless you're looking for other flavors which will result in something more mild.

Tropical, melindas and Dave's are solid companies, cajhons was better back in the day. I'm assuming you're near jungle jims, they may let you tooth pick sample.

Their ghost pepper sauce I use like franks, it's drat good, a bottle or two a week. I agree that their heat is not as high as other brands, but they're consistent and well priced.

Only one sauce in there that features a pepper > 1 mil and it's surrounded by fruit and concentrates. Weak poo poo.

Capsium extract tastes like rear end oil. I'd try some sauces with them first.

scorpion tastes similar to habs, which seems to be their hottest, with more heat. I'm a big fan of a pickled scorpion/scotch bonnet but look around for similar ingredients to them but scorpion.

So I'm at the store, looking at the hot sauce selection.

Is HellFireDetroit really worth over 10 bucks for a 4 oz bottle? Because good gods that poo poo is pricy (didn't buy it).

I'm not familiar with that brand but generally no. 8-10 for 5oz superhots is not absurd sadly

One of my favorite sauce makers finally got on Amazon recently. His stock isn't huge but his sauces have always been my favorite, no extracts in them, they are extremely authentic and bold flavors. The heat on a few of them is absurd too.

thanks that's a good price for amazon hot sauce. I hope the hot is very hot.

Don't know about the taco but the others are fine if you can handle hab with the 7 pot being hottest. I really like their honey sauce.

I like using dave's ghost pepper or something with extract for a few drips, butter, then whatever sauce as the primary flavor. Gives more heat. Once I run out of Dave's I don't think I'll be replacing the extract sauce though... need to keep finding uses for it to get rid of it.

$10+ is pretty standard for good hot sauces that aren’t mass produced at the levels of Tabasco/El Yuc/etc

I’ve always ordered from Heatonist, they have awesome customer service. But even Amazon is pretty great.

not a fan of their selection and prices seem high.

look on amazon then go to the actual store's website imho

I usually make salsas when the garden gets out of control in the hot months. You're exactly right, eggs and salsa is magic. There is something to be said for a little bit extra of a good hot sauce though, especially if there are hash browns or something like that involved.

Yeah I'm a big fan of August salsa in a slow cooker with chicken.

Dave's Ghost Pepper has extract. Mad Dog 357 ghost does not. Try the regular 357 which does and I think you'll dislike it for the same reason as the Daves. FWIW I think Dave's Ghost is the best extract sauce I've had.

Just stopping by to report that the El Yucateco Black Label Reserve sucks and that'd you'd get the same experience by throwing $3 worth of charcoal briquettes, grass clippings, and paint thinner in a blender and just eating that.

Speaking of scotch bonnets, here's my current batch fermenting away. About three weeks in right now, will probably make the sauce in another two.



That's one of the few sauces I've tossed.

So excited for my papers to come in. My scotches are just now fruiting

gimme some weights man, pickle/sea/kosher will vary a bit. My scotches and reapers are finally ripening in mass so I'm going to make roughly a gallon of sauce. Really can't afford to gently caress it upl.
