Habanero mango hot sauce.

[Steve H]

This is a nod towards Jeff @jcam222. I really enjoyed the hot sauce he sent me. And I found some habs that weren't priced like gold. So, I'm making some!

These were 1.00 per ounce. But 14 ounces.
Divided in half between 2 quart mason jars with 1 cup of mangos each, 1/2tsp dried ginger each, 2 cloves rough chopped garlic each. Brine was filtered water at 3.5% salt.

Jars got condensation from the frozen mango pieces. These will ferment for 3-4 weeks before processing. Can't wait!

Did the jars come with the holes, plugs, and fermentation traps ?
And do you just put the plug in after the fermentation trap in ?
I use the fermentation traps when proofing dough.

These came with the hole already in the lid. And with the gaskets, and air lock.
This is what I started out with. Jars not included.

I'm in for the ride Steve! I'll be interested to see your thoughts on mango flavor with it being fermented. Kroger around here in Ohio head had habs for $3.99 / lbs for a few weeks.

Did you ferment the mango with your batch? I though you did.

That is a good way to get started. Nice!

Steve, you are using the glass weights? I thought you use the plastic push in ones below?

I am using those plastic ones. Won't use anything else for stuff like this. I was just showing the kit I started with.

Since I do sugar free I used ooflavors mango in the post process. From what I read you will get a more pronounced fruit flavor adding it post ferment but many do pre. Truly interested in what you think of it.

I did forget that you did it this way. I'll let you know the results.

Nice! I got to get on board with this!

What do you think about this fermentation kit ? How does it differ from the one linked above ?

I have some of those" "burping" lids as well. They are ok as well. Though, some have reported that they've had issues with the seal closing fully after the CO2 escapes. I haven't had that issue yet. The nice thing about these as you don't have to worry about the water evaporating from the airlocks.

I may try those at some point. Biggest plus to me is the ability to suck out most of the O2 right away instead of waiting for CO2 to displace it.

Well, I believe I'll buy the kit you started with .

If you get them. Just use the pump every other day to ensure they are working.

Do you bother with the PH test ? Is this overkill ?

PH is important to monitor. A few of us use this:

Works very well. And had it checked at work for accuracy. It is dead on.
