Death powder '26

[normanaj]

Last years crop is now powder,straight up Ghost chili powder.I had to step it down a notch from last years' Reaper powder from the '24 harvest!

Nice! I've got a bunch of habanero powder, cayenne and then a blend of ghost , reaper and scorpion.

No doubt . It's great in the right amount , but it's hot . I still have some dried reapers , and enough powder for a lifetime .

Same here,I have a same size bottle that's 3/4 full of reaper powder and now that full bottle of ghost powder.Only going to grow habeneros this year for a local bar to make their hot sauce.

Nice, in the right amount I’ll bet it’s tasty. But in the wrong amount, it’d bring a grown man to tears on his knees. Potent stuff there! I’d like to try something similar on some jerky someday.

I've successfully over-wintered my reaper (indoors) 3yr running now. It was way too hot last summer here so got zero fruit--all the flowers fell off and I was so sad.

A local peanut seller has ghost powder virginia peanuts.

I can eat TWO before it gets......over-powering. What a rush though.

Spicequestlabs.com has $12.95 small empty super hot pepper grinder/dispensers for homemade powders. One is SS, the other in Red. They sell them filled with their peppers and blends and refills. This is something I'd definitely use and take with me but I already have spice spoons on a ring Tad 1/4t, Dash 1/8t, Pinch 1/16t and Smidgen 1/32t. There's even a smaller one, Drop 1/64t. I usually use 1/8t of my pre 2020 harvest powders of Chocolate Habanero Chipotle or Chocolate Habanero or Ghost Pepper or Carolina Reaper or Lemon Drop on a frozen Pizza.

My valve train came in for coarse/fine spice grinding in my post #7 above. I have a couple spare out of the ten. Your thumb/finger is the push rod/rocker arm and the valve stem/porthole are knurled. Too many pepper powders I have and spices like Rosemary that can handle being reduced and Kosher salt vs table salt.

I'm not growing peppers until I can reduce my dried assortment of pods. I do have two extended ferments going for 2-3 years I have a year+ to go like Mcilhenny's 3 year Tobasco ferment so I've been exclusively buying High Desert Hot Sauce Co. sauces out of Tucson, AZ. I switched from alcohol to super hot, hot sauces and some medium. This is at my dad's home while he's doing PT in a nursing home and I have the same amount at my house fifteen minutes away.

I don't know how you guys eat those things. I can hardly eat Serrano's or a little Hab, although I love Fresno's and Jap's.

The only thing I would use Reaper powder for is for keeping the dogs from digging under the fence.

My Poppa/ Gramp's ran Beagle's for black bear cougar, and tracking mule deer in Norcal, and Nevada for many yrs. He always had a pack of at least six to eight of them. They were great hunters, but a handful around the house, they loved to escape by digging under the fence. Until he figured out that a 1' band of Calabrian chili powder where they liked to dig out was the cure. I can only imagine how well ghost pepper or Reaper powder would work on those little digging bastards.

By the way I'd never own a beagle, they are way too loud for me, I'll stick with Lab's and Chessie's, Rottie's, and miniature Weiner dog's.
