Drew, I'm growing the Lautchauer myself. Every seed came up and due my own mix-up, I wound up transplanting all of them. I hope they're good lol. But that isn't why I'm replying.

One pepper really surprised my wife and I last fall. We grew Anaheim for a milder chili relleno pepper. Four plants produced more than we could use, so at the end of the growing season, we dried them for chili powder. When dried, Anaheim peppers have this scent to them that makes your mouth water. They are not thick skinned like Jalapeno or Bells or thin skinned like a frying pepper such as shi-shi-to.

Heat-wise, Anaheim...well, not-so-much. But in chili, we added some tabasco chili powder giving it a nice 40,000 Scoville units boost. The thing about using milder type peppers for chili powder is that you can always add more heat, or leave it mild for those who don't care for hot stuff.

Edited part: I agree with what you wrote above. Especially the slightly moist part. Makes for a much better tasting dried pepper.

Drew, I have seeds for that!

Thank you for typing out that recipe. You are full of energy at this late hour. I'm drifting asleep, but I think I can do this! Btw I rely on the imagination of others when it comes to food so I appreciate all the recipes. After all I "did" put a paprika pepper in chili.

Not sure of your uses, our uses for sweet peppers is almost entire eating fresh. I've been growing Yummy small sweet peppers (red orange yellow ones) for a few years. I'm very happy with their production and flavor. Most of what you see are F1 hybrids, but I've contacted Jung customer service and the ones I've gotten from them they say are OP. I saved seeds from the separate colors last year and will be growing them this year, so I'll be able to confirm if they are indeed OP.

Interesting. I was not aware that Yummy was an overloaded name. I have grown out F2s from Bonnie Yummy Orange plants with good success. I assumed it was an OP.

I'm really surprised to see Beaver Dam listed as sweet; it has a bit of a bite, especially if picked green. It gets milder when ripe.

I've never grown them before, so you are probably right.

I see some seriously dangerous peppers listed in this thread .

I am only growing one potent pepper this year, Bhut Jolokia from Baker Creek. I have six seedlings, hopefully that will be enough to make a batch of hot sauce.

Other peppers started:

Hot:
Serrano Tampequino
Aji Limo

Sweet:
Criolla De Cocina
Paradicsom Alaku Sarga Szentes (thickest flesh I have ever seen)
Corno Di Toro
