I think my pepper mash is done fermenting. It no longer making visible bubbles, and the mash isn't expanding from the bubbles like it was before (it caused it to overflow the airlock at one point). So, this weekend I'll be straining the mash through cheesecloth, pureeing the mash, then adding back some brine. Maybe some lime juice as well. You gotta use a little (very little, like a quarter teaspoon) Xanthan Gum, to keep it from separating. E: suggestions for bottles? I'm thinking a bottle with an opening like Texas Pete or Cholula would work best - small/narrow, to prevent it all dumping out, but not as narrow as those bottles with the little plastic dripper inserts since the sauce will be a bit too thick for that.

Ordered some bottles. In the meantime, I had enough for 2 batches - one with lime, and one without.

I blended peppers, onion, and garlic all together before fermenting for mine. The garlic is very forward, which I love.

So, my homemade hot sauce was a huge hit at work. Enough so that people are asking me to make more, and offering to pay for it. I'm not looking to turn a profit, so I'll just charge enough to cover the cost of the materials. With that in mind, does anyone know where I could get a bulk order of peppers? I used Hatch peppers this time, but anything around that level of spiciness would probably work. I was able to get a good deal from Wegmans because they were doing a big Roasted Hatch Chilies event, but I'm not sure if I could get that bulk price now that the event is over.

drat. Wegmans usually carries jalapeños year round, I guess I can ask if they will order a crate for me. They've done an order of chorizo for me when they didn't have the kind I wanted, albeit that wasn't a bulk order.

I just spoke with Wegmans, and they can only order the Hatch peppers in February for delivery in August/September unfortunately. They did say Anaheim were available year round and they could order me some, but they are significantly more expensive - $20 per 5lb box (the hatch were $40 per 23lb box).
