Hot Sauce in Pops Brine?

[bill ace 350]

Picked up a pork loin to make some Canadian bacon.

Want to kick up the heat a bit for this batch.

Thinking of adding a half tablespoon of Mad Dog 357 hot sauce to the brine.

Anyone tried hot sauce in their brine?

Why not.I put hotsauce in EVERYTHING.Done many a brine with some type of heat added.

Lately I've been using habenero powder to add heat.

Loin Hams , Dave's injection .

I normally do loins with Tender Quick , but it's good to keep up with different ways to do things . So I went with the phosphate injection that I use on the butts and picnics . I have also been wanting to try a spicy Italian style ham . Another reason I went with the phosphate injection . Now...

Not sure if you want to look thru that link or not . That's some I did awhile back . I used the phosphate injection and one got some Franks red hot . It added flavor , but not much heat . I used about 1/2 TBLS in maybe 2 cups of liquid . I've also used TQ and Carolina reaper powder on an eye round for dried beef . Now that's good stuff , and hot .
Be interested in your results .

The mad dog 357 is pretty potent, wondering if adding it to the brine would help with a more even distribution. I would think so, but not sure.

I think it would . Just have to figure out the amount that works . I had thought about putting some red pepper flakes ( TBLS ? ) in a quart mason jar then filling with water . Let that sit a few days , then add that as part of the gallon for Pops . Might get more heat that way ? Still add the sauce .
When I used the TQ and the reaper powder , it was all the way thru the meat .
Turned it red .

But I'd like to see it done with Pop's . So I'll be watching .
