Current favorites are The Seventh Reaper and Heartbeat Scorpion. Tasty and hot but not stupid hot.
Oh and in the milder end: Dirty Dick’s Hot Pepper Sauce With a Tropical Twist
Might not sound interesting - or maybe it isn’t even a “hot sauce”, but since it’s like, the only I know, schezwan.
Everything from Secret Aardvark and most of Crazy Bastard
- Melinda’s ghost pepper sauce (kinda my default)
- Tobasco scorpion (another default)
- yuca tecca reserve (for tacos usually with another sauce for more heat)
- trappey’s tobacco peppers (for hot dogs, eggs, and chili)
- Melinda’s ghost pepper wing sauce (for nuggies)
Whatever nozzle fits in my ass best so I can boof it.
El Yucateco Mayan Recipe
Crystal hot sauce is my goto. Tangy and just the right amount of heat to casually throw on anything if you don’t want to go into battle mode. Frank’s come close. Surprised that I’m the only one mentioning Crystal.
Secret Aardvark I think would be my second goto if you aren’t looking for a hot sauce with the acidity of Crystal, Tabasco, Frank’s, etc.
Aw yeah Crystal is so good. I’m not in the US so it’s hard to get for me but I agree, it’s basically a sauce for everything.
Goblin Sauce by Torchbearer, made in collaboration with the band Nekrogoblikon. Jalapeno, pineapple, scorpion pepper. Good solid heat, little fruity. Bought a case of it
BOMBA CALABRESE. Sorry, I can’t say it in lowercase. It’s just crushed peperoncini and oil. Yummmmm I put it on pizza, in soup, curry, stew, I dip my cheeses and fingers in it.
Cholula for eggs but it’s hard to find around here.
I’ll be on the lookout for Valentina as it’s been brought up often in this thread.
Cholula garlic, Valentina, Melinda’s habenero garlic and various yellow bird.
Tapatio for me.
Tapatio goes with everything!
Depends what I’m using it on.
Mambo Sauce and buffalo wing sauce for chicken.
Tabasco for eggs.
-Homemade garlic cayenne hot sauce.
-Frank’s Red Hot. I put that shit on everything.
-Cholula for Mexican food.
Willing to share your fav garlic cayenne formulation?
I use Franks and Franks wing sauce a lot.
I live in NM so we have New Mexican Food, for that it comes pre covered in green or red chile.
My own. I lacto ferment peppers with (and or) garlic, sjalots, ginger, veg, fruit, paprika, herbs, spices. It is easy to make.
Do you use an airlock or do you burp the vessel when you ferment?
I used to have those but now I just use weck jars and burp them every day.
Nando’s Peri Peri sauce.
