Dang man, I used to live in Destin for about 6years and that's not far from you. The peppers look awesome and I love anything hot!...the habaneros may be a little much for me though, but I hope they turn out well for you! Thanks for sharing the pics.

This is just my first attempt from a few weeks ago..

The 2 gallon jars are under the sink.

No I haven't tried it yet.

The recipe sez let it sit until the vinegar rises and drain it.

   Have a great day!!

Is the first pic you posted after 1 day of fermenting or before you put it in the cabinet?  That's basically what mine looks like today (1 day in), just wanna make sure that's normal and I shouldn't add more peppers to fill the jar.

Question, so I've pureed my peppers/vinegar/salt mixture and it's sitting in jars in the fridge now.  Basically it's layered so there is liquid on the bottom and the peppers are on top.  Is that normal?  How long did you wait before you strained it?  I did the puree, jar and fridge on tuesday btw.

If you are "Fermenting" the peppers, the refrigerator will significantly slow the fermentation process.
