First we feast, and Sean Evans`s Hot ones should defo get a botle of this weapon.

That would be awesome!

i was just thinking he should be on there & saw your comment lol

[@greggb557]

Please one day send a bottle to either Brian Ambs or Johnny Scoville for review on their channels.

[@timroddle3618]

good idea

[@lunapetunia3778]

Would love to see Johnny review this!

[@hedgi8490]

A man who can keep his composure like that when eating a super hot sauce should be feared

[@jphillips360noscope]

I get sympathetic sweats everytime i watch you do superhots - maybe invite Chili Klaus? It'd be superfun watching you two together!

[@dlcdaniel705]

Did I just watch 20 minutes of a man making super hot hot sauce? Yes. Can I even stand the spice of spicy BBQ? No, no I cannot.

[@GreenWitch1]

😂

[@jlew5545]

@DLC Daniel......but Daniel.....that 20 minutes spent back then......has you now some 9 plus months later......a far far better person for having done so. You might have spent the 20 minutes "then".....doing something you actually regret to this day.

[@AD_Engineering]

man you deserve more subscribers. This is quality content.

[@KelbenArunsun]

Thanks to you, i started growing my own chillis, and over the last yrs it got more and more.. Last year, i harvested so many peppers, i made 7 jars of chillis in total and had them ferment over the last couple of months, and i still have a jar of my last harvest, the green ones over to be made. I tend to kill the lactobacillus by cooking my sauces before i put them in the glasses finally. Each time i made a sauce, my kitchen turned into a gaschamber and i cought like hell every time. Thx to covid, i have some ffp2 masks around and let me tell you, they help a lot ^^

[@chixdighueyz]

you are like up there with Bob Ross, Steve Irwin, and Mr. Rogers, for wholesome, enjoyable, and educational content.

[@ChilliChump]

Thank you Jaclyn, that's very kind of you to say!

[@douglas7998]

Also mustard is a great emulsifier, I have a recipe with lots of mustard seeds and caraway, no need for xantham gum at all and the sauce doesn't split! Adds quite a strong flavour though, so not for all sauces.

[@crabmansteve6844]

Mustard is fantastic, that's such a good idea. I like using basil seeds.

[@jhnshep]

mustard sauce is made using vinegar, the acidity gives the mustard seed it's heat so perhaps the acidity in the hot sauce causes the mustard to change flavour, so not only do yo get the heat from the peppers in the throat but mustard up the nose?

[@pjbiggleswerth8903]

Mustard is a great emulsifier. We use it at the Broadmoor all the time when making dressings that would normally separate. A tiny bit goes a looooooooong way too.

[@xeniaplayspiano]

Husband received his sauce yesterday. He was delighted, his little face lit up and he went straight to the fridge for some left over pulled pork! Verdict: delicious, moreish, heat and flavours are well balanced. In the last 24 hours he has eaten it with pork, poached eggs, pasta and rather randomly, oxtail soup 🤔 I'm told it works well with all of them 😋 Thank you, Shaun. Another brilliant sauce.

[@ChilliChump]

That is so great to hear! I am really happy he likes it! And thank you both for your your support of what I'm doing ❤️🔥🔥

[@xeniaplayspiano]

You make the most consistently delicious hot sauces, happy to continue the support 🙂

[@E30Fred]

I like how in-depth this video goes! Great content and fermentation tips! That cabbage sounded amazing, I wish I had some haha

[@Reapererebos]

Thank you Shaun. I am actually planning on making a similar level of heat sauce for a few of my coworkers from this season's harvest. Good luck with you season. Cannot wait to see your progress.

[@wranther]

Great to see your creative side starting 2021 off in a good way Shaun! Looking forward to a wonderfully enjoyable 2021 growing season. Happy Gardening! Stay Spicy! -Bob...

Nice video, still possible to learn something new even though I watched all of your sauce videos 😃. Managed to buy a bottle of the sauce too!

Thank you. By the way, I have released a video every Friday for the last year! KZbin doesn't like to alert subscribers it seems!

[@dustysidepanel3075]

just received my bottle of 2021 weapons grade and its amazing. great flavor super heat, perfection. glad I had your channel subscribed i was notified of this video and i was able to score a bottle before it sold out. 10/10

Thank you for your feedback Roddy, I really appreciate it! I'm glad you enjoy it 🔥

Man, when I first saw this video it was about 6 hours after the video released and it was sold out. 😂😂 Bummer. I’ll just have to cross my fingers for the live stream.

Interesting process. This sauce would be too much for me, but the techniques and flavoring tips are very useful.

you took that taste like a champ! SUBSCRIBED

[@steveooooo4423]

Wow, inspiring, thanks again, I will ferment next time 👍🏼

Brilliant, I am glad you enjoy it! 🔥

[@kinggg2608]

So much information, this kind of channel is very helpful. Hands down

[@ChilliChump]

I'm glad you are enjoying it!

[@kinggg2608]

@@ChilliChump the only question was, the difference between fermenting and boiling the compound before bottling.

[@ChilliChump]

Fermenting reduces pH, making the sauce acidic and shelf stable and a result. As long as you clean, sanitise and sterilise your equipment (bottles, fillers etc) then you don't need to boil...the process of fermenting will kill off pathogens etc. Clean, sanitise, sterilise kzbin.info/www/bejne/iGi2hJypgJKoi80

[@amarievargas80]

Awesome. Love your videos.

[@2482jamie]

great video thanks!

A bit of Spicy history: Chilies/Peppers/Ajies originated form the Peru-Bolivia region, they are not native to China, Thailand or India. They were taken to Spain by Columbus in the 15th century. They have developed the best there, "Aji Amarillo" present in many Peruvian dishes, the Best culinary destination awarded 8 consecutive years 2011-2019 World Travel Awards.

Amazing video, can't wait for my super hots to grow and make this sauce. Thanks

[@CraftyZA]

Nice video. Hoping to make another superhot as well this month. I add some tamarind for extra tang. When soaking the tamarind, I use from the brine.

[@nitramdmij]

I stopped the video halfway through and went to your store to buy a bottle. Yes! It was in stock! Purchased! Back to finish the video. Thanks, Shaun!

[@ChilliChump]

Thank you!

[@nitramdmij]

@@ChilliChump No, thank you! I have been growing my own peppers and making sauces based on your videos. I want to see how my sauces compare to the master. Thanks again.

[@M_Weber]

I DEFINITELY want two bottles. One to eat & one autographed for a collector.

[@ericlarson9386]

I attempted the same with 90% habanero and 10% Carolina Reapers in a 3% brine. It fermented for 6 months. I ended up with 3 x 8oz bottles that tasts great but is not that much hotter than tobasco sauce. I ordered Birds Eye seeds for 2021 and I plan to ferment in a dry brine in a vacume bag. Thanks for all the tips.

[@quabynnne]

I finally got here before you ran out!! Hell yea!! In for weapons grade and the piri piri.

[@draggy76]

when you sniffle, you know it's a good heat :)

Hadn’t clicked the notification bell, so only just saw this video, and now kicking myself that I missed out on the opportunity to buy some of this hot sauce! Notification bell now clicked, I really hope I don’t miss the next one!!

[@ChilliChump]

I would also recommend signing up to my newsletter, I usually send out an email before a new sauce like this, or when I have new stock of old favourites! www.chillichump.com/newsletter

@@ChilliChump just signed up to the newsletter! I refuse to miss out on the next sauce you make! Seriously gutted I missed this one!

2:10 that sound is so satisfying

[@murdog04]

Another fantastic video! You take such meticulous care in your sauce making, and if I can say “those peppers are absolutely awesome looking”. They are way too hot for me, but they are beautiful for sure. Thank you for putting this all together. As you know, I totally love your channel. Well done my friend! Stay safe and Stay Spicy!

Be good to hear what you think Peter! Although I already know you like the OPK!

@@ChilliChump I still have 1 bottle from the first batch :-)

Do you cook before bottling? Is that a necessary step to ward off bacteria? Love the videos!

just bought a bottle before it sold out! yes!

[@worldf1re41]

I'm not a chilli person at all (despite what my name might suggest) but this video definitely retained my interest throughout it's whole duration. Great editing, production and content and I look forward to seeing more!

[@neel99988]

Mouthwatering 🤤

[@solsweeney]

Hey ChilliChump, that's very clever, you're using the brine fermentation as a starter sort of like a yeast starter in beer brewing? Thanks very much for all your cool info. :-)

Cool you made this sauce on my birthday November 29th!

[@free635]

Looks great i pulled my first sauce last week and its awesome some serrano sauce with garlic and so even found xanthan gum at dis chem

[@kristerl939]

Also bought bottles and saw that you have added tracking to the parcels. Hopefully this will prevent last years shipping problem.

[@ChilliChump]

I haven't really had many shipping issues in the last year or so....except for slowness due to the current global situation. But tracking is available as an option!

How fine (which setting) do you mill the peppers once fermented. I've used the finest, and am usually left with a Tobasco-like liquid that is far to hot on its own.

Interesting, never heard of leaving the stem on. I haven't added any herbs or spices to my sauces. I need to play around with that. Interesting that you used brine and mash in the same hot sauce. Don't think I've seen anyone do it that way before.

[@Legohaiden]

god that seems like it would be such a delicious hot sauce! I buy "Spontaneous Combustion" because i love the explosion of heat, but the flavor of the sauce is actually not that good, i had a nice Habenaro/coffee hot sauce that was amazingly delicious but not hot like i wanted.

[@michakav]

Dang! Sold out.

[@AquivaStar]

Great video thanks! I have a question especially w.r.t to the spices you add... When is it necessary to cook a hot sauce rather than just fermenting?

[@joeb4142]

You boil the sauce if no ferment to kill all the pathogens before bottling. If you ferment the resulting lactobacillus will kill any potentially harmful bacteria so no need to boil.

[@Chuycabra]

I've learned the S in BDSM stands for sauce! 🤣

[@ChilliChump]

🤔🔥😂

[@madcraic3283]

As always Shaun, great video! Ordered right away, but seeing your pain at the end, I am crapping my pants right now! For me my hottest so far was Habanero. So if I should not survive, will tell my wife to keep the subscription going!

[@ChilliChump]

Lol. I am sure you will survive. I just hope you taste the flavour combinations through the heat. Just make sure you film the tasting...and get your wife to send it over 😂

[@Meatcleaver101]

I would suggest RO water.. So that you don't introduce any negative flavour.. You may also use a coffee orientated water filter to give a lil bit more sweetness and body

[@lysdexic9129]

Hi Chillichump. I've made my own ferminator based on your design. I've used the inkbird temperature controller and have it set for 26 degrees C with a 3 degree swing either way. I ferment sourdough bread at that temperature. I would like to know if 26 degrees C is suitable for fermenting chillies? ideally i'd love to have them going together at the same time. Cheers.

[@ChilliChump]

That's way too high, and will result in some off-flavours. I wouldn't suggest going above 23 ...personally, I don't go above 21

[@risingzone3375]

Have you tried incorporating fennel seed into your mix along with the cumin? They go together like onions and potatoes along with that spice... A perfect trifecta!

[@ChilliChump]

I have used fennel in a couple of my other sauce recipes. Have a look through my sauce videos, you can see I have a variety of different fslvour profiles I work with. I did experiment with fennel in one of my batches of this particular sauce...it didn't work very well unfortunately.
