What's your go to? Mine was Danny cash 1%er but it looks like it's no longer being made. Looking for a replacement. Nothing with extracts I'm not that hardcore

Looking for something savory but light in flavor but with big heat, preferably easy to find on Amazon or locally.

There's a danny cash ghost reaper sauce that looks perfect but they want 12 dollars shipping on a 12 dollar bottle which is a bit much

Have you considered making your own? I have a good recipe for a habenero sauce and its pretty easy to make a ton of it. Ingredients can be obtained for $10 or less to make like a gallon of it

Mind sharing? That sounds lit.

[-] Jew@hexbear.net 10 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Heres the recipe:

3/4 cups white vinegar

1 cup water

8-10 habeneros

1 or 2 carrots

1 Mango (optional but great for sweet heat)

4-6 cloves of garlic

Half an onion

Pinches of salt for flavor

Honey or honey powder (optional for sweet version)

1 red bell pepper (optional for flavor and more mild spice)

Steps:

  1. Roast the veggies in a cast iron pan in the oven or on the grill
  2. Put roasted veggies in pot with vinegar and water, boil for 20-30 min (warning: boiling vinegar will cause some fumes so beware when opening lid of pot)
  3. Let boil cool a few minutes then blend.
  4. Add salt or more garlic for flavor if needed

Boom! You've just made Jew's Bobcat Sauce.

Note that this recipe will yield ALOT of sauce. Probably around 40 ounces. Scale down as needed. Ratio of vinegar to water can go up to 1:1 for more tang but never do more vinegar than water.

god i can taste that mmm

[-] Thordros@hexbear.net 6 points 1 month ago

I'd really like to see your recipe, too. I've made chili oil before, but it was basically all heat and not super flavorful.

[-] Jew@hexbear.net 6 points 1 month ago

Sure! Just posted it above

[-] Parsani@hexbear.net 6 points 1 month ago

Do you jar it? I usually make fresh stuff throughout the summer but in smaller portions so I eat it before it goes bad

[-] NephewAlphaBravo@hexbear.net 6 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

I like to ferment mine, let nature do the preserving for me and add that really smooth lactic acid flavor/aroma

You make a 3-4% brine, cut up your ingredients, and dump everything into a big jar with some form of airlock to let excess CO2 escape. Let it sit somewhere cool and dark for a week or two, stir or shake it up a little now and then, and when it smells like the good kosher pickles from the grocery store it's ready to throw in the blender with any last-minute spices or whatever.

You can also blend everything up at the beginning but imo it's easier to deal with a brine than a mash.

The Serious Eats page on it is a massive infodump but the main things to know are the salt concentration and the anaerobic environment

[-] Jew@hexbear.net 6 points 1 month ago

No its good as soon as you make it. Its vinegar based so it lasts a while if you store it after. Ill post the recipe in another reply

[-] Parsani@hexbear.net 4 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Ah, that makes sense. I use very little vinegar, I'm not a huge fan of it. I like lime juice for my acid

Edit: I'm talking about salsa though. I don't know why I thought I was making hot sauce lol

[-] JamesConeZone@hexbear.net 6 points 1 month ago

Came here to say this. The hottest and nicest tasting sauce is gonna be your own, and it's surprisingly cheap to make

[-] Jew@hexbear.net 5 points 1 month ago

Agreed! Once you know how to make hot sauce you can also learn how to make salsas too. Great stuff to bring to parties or communist revolutions.

[-] TraschcanOfIdeology@hexbear.net 5 points 1 month ago

Lacto fermenting habaneros is a direct route to flavor town.

Not really ultrahot, but definitely ultra delicious.

MAMA LIZ'S

CHILI OILLLLLLL

[-] Chronicon@hexbear.net 7 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

I used to like Elijahs Xtreme, haven't bought it in a while. Not sure if it's quite up to your standards but I really liked the taste and it was pretty damn spicy https://elijahsxtreme.com/products/ghost-pepper-sauce

Edit: it might be up your alley tbh, the random site I just pulled up put it at the same spice level as that danny cash you mentioned

[-] TreadOnMe@hexbear.net 6 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

A couple of drops of Dave's Insanity Sauce with salsa is always my go-to.

Edit: Not sure if there are extracts in there.

[-] meatballs12345@hexbear.net 6 points 1 month ago

Monoloco has a very hot sauce that's made without extract. It's only peppers, lemon, and garlic, so it adds not much else in terms of flavor. Otherwise theres YellowBird, which is very tasty and widely avaliable. Also check out https://heatonist.com/, they have a huge variety.

[-] Nakoichi@hexbear.net 6 points 1 month ago

idk but I went to a burger place last night and they had these little peppers at the sauce bar, I thought they were like pepperoncinis or maybe a sweet pepper of some sort and I munched one whole.

It was not. It was one of the hottest things I have ever eaten and I was sweating my friend was like "are you okay dude?"

[-] Assian_Candor@hexbear.net 5 points 1 month ago

Ahhh haha tabasco peppers in vinegar, a Louisiana specialty. The vinegar itself is killer on greens or in gumbo

Probably sport peppers, were they the tiny little yellow ones?

[-] Nakoichi@hexbear.net 2 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

~~Yep.~~

Nope they were short more like a cherry pepper but yellow.

I'm gonna go get another burger and bring some back to show yall.

I do spicy food. Like I am the funny white guy that eats really hot shit and can hang with all the local indian food places and other super hot foods that stereotypically cause pasty mfs like me to flee in terror. This fuckin chilli HURT me.

But I am still gonna go get another.

[-] ColonelKataffy@hexbear.net 5 points 1 month ago

https://www.2angrycats.com/products/hero-sauce 2 angry cats Hero Sauce a really tasty, really hot sauce. has a rich, dark, almost smoky heat, but not smoky like charcoal. just great heat from red peppers. I add it to soups, tacos, eggs, etc

[-] corgiwithalaptop@hexbear.net 5 points 1 month ago

The Hot Ones last dab is mustardy and really good imo

[-] ped_xing@hexbear.net 5 points 1 month ago

Matouk's Trinidad Scorpion Pepper Sauce.

[-] Parsani@hexbear.net 5 points 1 month ago

I really like La Anita habanero extra hot

[-] OhHiMarx@lemmygrad.ml 5 points 1 month ago

I'm a huge fan of scotch bonnet pepper sauces and I think they'd fit your requirements well. Specifically, Lottie's Traditional Barbados Recipe Hot Pepper Sauce. Should be pretty easy to find online

[-] SpiderFarmer@hexbear.net 5 points 1 month ago

I like that thai sambal stuff. It's about half oil, half chili paste. It somehow remains savory despite causing me instant sweats and ruining a few hours of my following morning.

[-] NephewAlphaBravo@hexbear.net 5 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Torchbearer garlic reaper is fantastic, the garlic flavor is really strong but you know exactly how that's gonna affect the dish so it's easy to use

I can also recommend just buying a bunch of habaneros/bonnets/reapers, throwing them in a blender with a little salt, and letting it sit on a shelf for a week until it smells like good pickles

[-] ta00000@hexbear.net 5 points 1 month ago

I like Melinda's naga jolokia sauce. It's pretty cheap with a slow burn.

[-] good_girl@hexbear.net 5 points 1 month ago

I'm a big fan of bravado hot sauces.

I think their spiciest flavors are the Aka Miso Ghost Pepper, the Black Garlic Carolina Reaper, the Garlic & Arbol Moruga Scorpion, and the Ancho Masala Scorpion Reaper.

For something a step down I like their Ghost pepper & Blueberry as well as their Serrano & Basil.

Their bottles are about $12-$13 for 5oz. I wouldn't pay more than that tbh.

[-] Weedian@hexbear.net 3 points 1 month ago

Melinda's

I really really like Secret Aardvark but that's only like 5/10 hot
