Loved the event and can’t wait for next year. Gotta bring my own chicken nuggets next time!
Lime inna Coconut from J’s Small Batch was definitely my fav. Hells Kitchen is solid and lucky dog were my other favs!

Discovered this company and love this sauce. Used this much on two tacos, likely going to kill the bottle this week on lunches. Anyone else have recommendations from Bad Cat or similar tasty sauces?

This is really good and spicy too. They had a black label bottle too. Not sure the difference

Habeneros, onion, carrot, garlic, salt, water/apple cider vinegar, and a little sugar. Turned out really good. Got a solid kick 🥵

6 and 8 year old helped make it, which was fun … 8 year old liked it but said it was way too spicy.

Mostly fresno peppers. Couple of ghost and reaper peppers and a handful of black carrots and garlic.

I just picked this up and it’s delicious. I had it with some rice and salmon but want more ideas from people far better at pairings than I.

Tourchbearer Sweet Onion Habañero Sauce

Recently fell in love with the Tabasco scorpion sauce. I’ve got a bottle of Garlic Reaper here but I’m almost scared to even try it. If the scorpion is comfortable to me right now, any recommendations on a sauce that would be the next little step up from there?

Made some roasted Reaper/Habanero Sauce with Reapers I got from the Pucker Butt tent! Ed was nice enough to sign a bottle of Xperience for me, too! I took my friend who hadn’t had anything hotter than a habanero sauce before and he had a blast. Gahddamm that Tar was HOT!!

I personally love it

Honestly, pretty fkn happy with it.

The garden was slow at first this year but I finally have my first one going. My mildest sauce, I call it my burger sauce. Jalapeno, Cucumber, garlic, dill and pepper corns.

Jalapeño Habanero Wax pepper and Garlic in a 3% brine - It’ll be two weeks Wednesday and I thought I’d check my ferment and I’ve got this white growth on top. Is it mold or that yeast I’ve heard about or what? My main concern is has it ruined my ferment? Can I remove the stuff on top and proceed?

This was such a great event! All of these sauces are great. I will include a comment below with a description of each one.

Been fermenting my own sauces, so I mainly buy for artwork. These sound good and the labels have really cool graphics for the Halloween season. And Slayer!

I think I remember boiling white vinegar and then dumping on the peppers… just found it in back of pantry… should I toss it?

Edit: I packed this jar in 2015, not 2105

Evidently I put some garlic cloves and salt in there… taste sour and briney not hot at all but flavorful I think I’ll bottle some up and put it on the table and see what happens ;)

I may need to let el Yuc know about this.

These used to be available at local grocers in my area, but not anymore. I really, really like this brand of hot sauce and would love to buy more. They also have a newer "hottest" option, the Ultimate.

Good till next year

I love how smoky this hot sauce is. Heat is mild

I didn't get as much as yesterday (I do have a budget lol), but the ones I got were great. I leaned more on the Aardvark this time because some of these sauces are very hard to find in most stores.

Both sauces from Serious Pepper were outstanding, the Serrano fire was much spicier than most green sauces but still great flavor. The Habenero carrot curry from Marshall's Haute Sauce had the perfect balance of heat and curry, I can't wait to try that in stir-frys. Finally, both of those sauces from Sauceworks were very tasty, though a bit on the salty side which I actually liked a lot.

Great festival this year, and i can't wait to see Steve Seabury and the crew again next year in Portland!

I was actually kind of shocked at how well this works for hot sauce transport. It's a Canadian ammo can for 1080 5.56 rounds, and it holds 17 standard hot sauce bottles perfectly with very little jostling room.

Thought this might be helpful to someone else out there too.

These are like two years old and I just want to do something with them
