You make ghost pepper infused sassafras root beer and I'll make garlic infused sassafras root beer... On a second thought... a nice fermented sassafras root beer recipe would be nice to try! Sassafras grows like a weed around my garden, and is almost invasive, I have 3-4 year old trees that will make nice roots this year. Last edited by pmcgrady; April 3, 2018 at 10:17 PM. |

The trees range is just east of my in east Texas.
When I lived in the Ozarks it seemed like every other tree was one along with post oak and black walnut. What am I talking about, that area had more kinds of trees and plants I can even count. |

The big crock seems to be on it's second wind and burping right along.
I might let it do this for yet another week. That would be four weeks total. Haven't made my mind up yet. Worth |

I tasted it again this morning and decided to harvest it.
Here it is all together five quarts of red sauerkraut with apple onion and caraway seeds. Worth IMG_20180408_868.jpg |

I think I liked the big chunks of apple as much if not more than the cabbage and it was crunchy too. Sort of reminded me of the pickled red apple rings we used to get that you cant find to save your life down here. Which reminds me of the spiced peaches in jars I cant find anymore with cinnamon and cloves. I have no idea if it is where I live or this stuff just went out of popularity. |

I said I was going to make hot sauce and by darn I am.
Here are the players. Habanero. Manzano. Red jalapeno. Poblano. Just packed them in the crock and added 2 Tablespoons of salt per quart of water. Should make over a gallon of hot sauce when I am through. Worth IMG_20180411_55102.jpg IMG_20180411_42939.jpg IMG_20180411_24528.jpg |

I figured out the temperature for the solution is around 72-73F or so for the blurping to take place around every 3 minutes or so.
67F slows it way down which is what I put the AC on for last night. This would be the two tablespoons per quart of water brine solution. My guess and experience is 3 tablespoons per quart if you are going to ferment at around 75 to 80F Worth |

At around 70 degrees the peppers are blurping every 60 seconds now.
That 60 second blurp is what I strive for in a ferment in the beginning stages. Soon the acid will increase and another slower bacteria will take over in the stronger acid. This means a lot to me because it allows me to know my food is safe and acidic enough. Worth |

That is going to be fantastic Worth.
I'm down to my last bottle. I went back to the pics of making it but I wish those pictures could speak. I have not a clue what I did, just hints. I did add a bit exan-gum to get a pour rather than a wet dribble... |

Thanks folks looks good.
I was going to post something else yesturday but deleted it. Now here it is again. What I intend to and will do is separate the poblano from the rest of the peppers. These will suck up some of the heat from the other peppers and make a green hot sauce. The other red and orange peppers will be mixed up and blended. If I were to mix the greens reds and orange peppers I know darn well the sauce would come out some sort of brown color. Worth |
