Your HOTSAUCE Separating? Vacuum-Seal Fermentation with Some Tips and Tricks

I am looking forward to bringing you many more sauce and cooking videos! 🔥 I hope you enjoyed this one. Thank you for watching! 💙

[@Psychothropicstrip]

You said you're not a fan of English mustard, because it's too strong... I don't know English mustard, but I know French one (because I'm French). English mustard is stronger than French mustard ? (French mustard is pretty strong. Especially Maille's fine and strong mustard - "moutarde fine et forte" in French - or worse : The strong mustard you can find in France in Lidl shop centers. This one is hell...)

[@ChilliChump]

I mainly don't like English mustard because it tastes strongly of that horseradish flavour...same reason I don't like wasabi.

[@Psychothropicstrip]

​@@ChilliChump I didn't know there's horseradish in it. Once more you taught me something ^^. French mustard doesn't contain horseradish, but damn !! it makes nose blow up...

[@CraftyZA]

This is so close to one of my own recipes. I used Tamarind, Bhut Jolokia, and then Shiitake mushrooms. A 3rd of each. That blend I then diluted 50/50 with a blend of 50/50 water and apple cider vinegar. All the dilution makes it such that I can over indulge on any food. Super awesome as a (thin) basting of steak before hitting the fire.

[@loudsqueak]

Ya man more sauce recipes !

[@FunnyBugBeesandWoodWorks]

Here in the US, we use jam and jelly. A jelly has no fruit particulates, it is made from fruit juice. Where as a jam has fruit particulates. Jams are thicker, and have nice chunks of fruit in them. Where as a jelly looks more like jello, if that helps you visualize it :)

[@HMClagi]

Dear Sir, JakartaChump here, a fan's quick name. All plants doing great, except one. A primo X, for which I bought seeds. Normally we don't buy seeds, but seemed like a good experiment. I considered plant sterile, until your vid on moist last week. Kept the plant moist, and immediately have some flowers going into chili-mode, instead of falling off. You Sir, are a genius.

[@ChilliChump]

Fantastic! I am happy it helped you out!

Hey ChilliChump I enjoyed this video and it brings me back to your video on making chili oil. I have a tip for you. First, get that Sous Vide machine. I use mine all the time to cook everything. I have done entire meals. You won’t regret it. The tip is on keeping the sealing edge of your bag clean is to make the bag a bit larger, and fold down the top edge about an inch and a half. This way if you get it dirty you can cut and discard or sanitize easily. Regarding bags, for your oils, use the Sous vide vacuum bags. BTW, I love that vacuum sealer and the moist setting. You can’t loose. Also double seal both top and bottom. You can leave those in the bath for days. I made my first batch of sauce is a vacuum bag and it came out great. Thanks for your vids. Love your channel.

[@ChilliChump]

Thanks for the message and tips Jeffrey. By the way, I got the sous vide for my birthday from my family last weekend!

[@Jeffjohnsonla]

Awesome! Happy Birthday!

[@ptbrian1016]

Mustard is definitely something I've used in all my sauces, specifically honey mustard. But it's ability to adapt to even a sweet super hot pepper hot sauce is what I love about it. And like you displayed in the video it definitely helps bined everything. Keep up the great work, you are definitely what I would consider a master hot sauce maker!

Hi Shaun..I’ve been away from KZbin for a while, but I recently purchased some Hawaiian chili peppers. Those little things pack quite a punch. I decided yesterday to make a little hot sauce with them, so I had to check out your videos again to refresh my memory. Thanks for the mustard tip! I’ll ferment in brine for a few weeks & add in some spices & fruit at the end. Very excited to see your new kitchen space!

[@INSIGHTSAU]

Great video as always. I get several uses out if my bags and I don’t even wash them. Just make sure to wipe the area that seals. I find any remaining mash left in the bag kicks off the next ferment. Still not ecologically sound but better than single use.

I made a fermented hot sauce the other day with some scotch bonnet chillis I forgot I had in the freezer. I use a large Moccona coffee jar to ferment them, it just burps itself when the gas builds up. I added 2 parts white vinegar, 1 part raspberry vinegar, 1 part apple cider vinegar, a little salt, sugar, 1 tsp Cape Malay spice blend and ginger powder. Turned out pretty good IMO!

[@panuntukan]

I never used mustard in my hot sauces, I didn't know it has a binding property, thank you ! One of my best success dealing with my peppers (I grow mostly Cayenne, piments l'oiseau and some aci sivri varieties) is chili jam with ginger bits, garlic, fish sauce and kafir leaves, with vinegar and of course sugar. I try to have some small pieces of chili inside also, I find it nice when you have chunks in the preserved jam. My friends are crazy about it, they eat it for example with strong aged pecorino cheese. I personally like it with anything fried, like french fries or fish and chips, or accras. I am sure that your followers on YT would be glad to see you experiment that kind of product. Greetings from Lake Maggiore !

[@ChilliChump]

Sounds tasty! I have a couple chilli jams and chilli chutneys in my recipe book. (chillichump.com/shop). But your recipe has a couple interesting twists. I will certainly be experimenting!

[@baumstanz]

Here's a video idea of you need one : I'd love to see a video with an overview of the different types of sauce (not variations of the same type). That would help me to decide what to ferment and how (mash/no mash), add vintage yes/no, emulsify yes/no, additional ingredients... So many variables. Would be nice to know some archetypes, you know?

[@GraymatterPix]

Excellent mustard trick. You say about adding citric acid etc to make it shelf stable after diluting, but what pH should it be to be shelf stable?

[@ChilliChump]

Strictly speaking it should be below 4.6. but better to go below 4.0 to be on the safe side

[@deepdawda]

Would you keep the bottle tip covered in the refrigerator or keep it open since there might be possible fermentation since the pH levels may be up?

If we do a brine fermentation, we could just use the brine to thin it out without affecting the pH, right?

I add my garlic as part of my fermentation mash. I feel like fermenting the garlic as well brings out a more "combined" favour as supposed to a "separate" flavour. That is the best way I can explain it. What do you think about fermenting with the garlic already added?

[@ChilliChump]

It depends on the recipe I'm working on. But I mostly prefer adding garlic after ferment....this way you keep the sweetness of the garlic as well as a stronger flavour. When fermented, it mellows it out too much. With less pungent chillies, this can work.

[@truter5243]

@@ChilliChump Thank you for the insight. I'm still building my tolerance so all of my ferments are what you'd call mild or very mild hehe (Little bit more than Tabasco heat) and so far I have found that the garlic added to my ferments worked out amazingly.

Hey guys! I just made my first sauce today (not a fermented sauce)! I have a question: I cooked the ingredients before blending them, but didn't boil the blended mix. Is that a problem for the shelf life? Should I take it out of the bottles and boil it again? The pH should be low (I don't have a tester, but there's quite a bit of vinegar and lemon. It tastes quite sour.)

[@ChilliChump]

For it to be safe, you need to get it to below at LEAST 4.6pH. I will discard any sauce that is not below 4.0pH though (to account for any possible issues with testing).

Also i have a couple of bottles of hot sauce i made last year but they have separated in the bottle, can i open and blend again with mustard or xanthan gum? Cheers Gav

[@ChilliChump]

Hi Gav, I would be a little cautious with using dijonaise. This would require further processing due to the oil in the mayonnaise. And regarding blending up older sauces, it could be done...I probably wouldn't do that personally as you are potentially introducing pathogens at that point. But if you are careful with it, and consider heat processing before bottling again....then it should be ok.

I'm curious on making a liquirice/habanero hot sauce. I am Swedish so liquirice is very close to my heart, it's also a flavor that I think is a bit unusual especially in food. :) Not sure how to go about doing it though and not sure if it's possible to make it last long without acidity. But maybe since it's liquirice I would add much more salt than with any normal hot sauce and perhaps that together with cooking it will make it last a while? So I'm looking for it to be Super salty, Sweet and spicy. I'm thinking that it could be nice on ice cream, steak or in a salad dressing.

[@ChilliChump]

I make a few sauces where I use aniseed, which provides that liquorice flavour. It could be interesting to make a stronger liquorice flavour in a sauce. You would need to do some experimenting though. I would probably start by adding liquorice after the fermentation, because the amount of salt could affect the fermentation. Then, try some smaller batches by adding liquorice during the fermetation, making sure to test pH for safety.

Those are some of my favourite ingredients, I love Thai food! I already have done a couple like that on my channel, and also in my recipe book (chillichump.com/shop) kzbin.info/www/bejne/bqWTZHWQf9GBa68 kzbin.info/www/bejne/qHenYZiMnrtlfaM

Thank you so much, I was more interested in knowing the reason of hotsauce separation which I did not ear from you. Did not I pay attention or notr?rrrr

[@ChilliChump]

The sauce seperates because there is a lack of emulsification. The solids seperate from the liquids. You need to emulsify either mechanically (with a stir plate, by high speed blending etc) or by adding something like xanthan gum. See the videos below: Using xanthan gum: kzbin.info/www/bejne/nn21YZWueq6CeNU Using a stir plate: kzbin.info/www/bejne/moPOiZSXbdmng5o Build your own Stir plate: kzbin.info/www/bejne/m3XFoqeVrd6hers

@@ChilliChumpThank you so much dear teacher for you free lessons which I have been appreciating so much.

[@dawshrococo]

you can use xantan gum to stop the sperating

Did you watch the video? I talk about xanthan gum

[@dawshrococo]

@@ChilliChump i kinda watched it on fast-forward 😂i think i missed the xanthan part . but great video 👍

could anyone give any advice please - i have some chocolate haberero's coming to fruition, and on another thread it was kindly suggested suggested i use them in a hot sauce, but I wont have enough choc habs to make a sauce with on their own, but what if i mixed them with other chilli's?. at the end of the season i'll have some ring of fire, thai dragon, aji lemon, takanotsume and firecracker left over, so if i fermented them all together in one 'frankensauce' how do you think it would turn out? is it a 'bad idea' to mix so many different varieties all up like this, or should i 'go for it' to give a unique taste?. anyone done this kind of thing before and how did it turn out? as i dont want to waste them in what may be a ridiculous combination lol. this will be my second season as a chilli grower, but first fermented sauce so i havent much experience in knowing the outcome and am looking for idea's. thanks.

Hey Bob. Have a look at this video of mine. I do this each year...works out great kzbin.info/www/bejne/nXPIgqWHa9Z0ac0

​@@ChilliChump Thanks a lot, very informative and i enjoyed it, but just a quick question if i may. in the monster mash vid, You blend the chillies, add salt and ferment, then add a quarter of the weight of vinegar at the end, wheras in your beginners from seed to sauce you ferment in brine, drain, blend, and add an equal weight of vinegar, (which seems a lot). would you recommend i use more of the monster mash technique for this sauce, (dont ferment in brine) rather than the from seed to sauce method?. i will probably be fermenting 1/2 to 1 litre. Thanks

[@ChilliChump]

There are different styles of hot sauce, and different recipes I have developed. Differing amount of vinegars and other additions. The monster mash is just one of many. You don't need vinegar at all to be safe due to the fermentation...I add it in that one for the taste. Have a look at my recipe book for a bunch of other recipes too. Www.chillichump.com/shop

@@ChilliChump Thanks again for taking the time to reply. As it's my first fermented anything, i think a recipe book is overkill for me at this stage but will bear it in mind. My frankensauce is under airlock this morning and i'll give it a month to ferment and take it from there. I may end up just adding a little brine back in when blending, use a little vinegar, im not sure yet, i'll see how i go, experiment a bit, and feel my way i think. GL
