no idea dont care still buying my favorite brand that would make a hot sauce connoisseur kvetch from my "uncultured tastebuds"

Isin't this just hot because of extracts? Why

>>19817797
i find stuff like this handy for adding to stuff that just isn't quite hot enough

by itself it's not very versatile for putting directly on food. maybe if i'm extra careful with the application and I also have a milder sauce I can use more of

When they started using extracts and nearly pure capsaicin to boost the heat. Anything hotter than a habanero is pointless imo.

From experience, it's not even a good spice additive. It just spreads this uniform flavorless chemical burn through the entire dish. Some kind of chili powder whether cayenne or something hotter will always be the best choice.

>When did hot sauce go too far?
anything beyond franks is unnecessary

B8 or actual child

>>19817797
it hasn't and it won't until they create a pepper so hott it instantly kills anyone who eats it.

This. I normally stay away from hotsauces with extracts in them because they typically taste like ass, and they have a different type of heat to actual peppers. However I was gifted a bottle of Da Bomb and it is actually useful for adding a drop or two to certain things if you just want to increase the heat without altering the actual flavor in any meaningful way. I add a drop or two to some "hot" salsa to make it actually hot, or barbecue sauce, or chili etc. I've had the same 4oz bottle for 4 years and I've used a little over half of it.

i didnt say intolerable
just unnecessary

>>19818200
nothing regarding flavor is really necessary
frank's is pretty weak tho

When it put HOT over flavour.
It just turned into some fucking dick measuring contest for retards. Most hot sauces are just fucking garbage shit for dickfaces.

Red Savina might be hot, but it's fruity as fuck and incredibly pleasant in taste. Ghost Chilis taste like dogshit microwaved Pamperchu's cancer creator.

it hasn't gone too far enough yet
reminder guys, it'll take at least another 10 years to beat pepper x for a pure hot sauce that doesn't involve extract

I ordered 12 wings with this sauce and it really felt like it burned a hole straight through my stomach. I had to keep drinking water for like 2 hours. I think my mistake was going in fasted and not eating anything else first/with it. Ordered them again and yeah I guess I don't learn from my mistakes.

>boss actually grows scorpion peppers
>ask him for a few
>wants to know what they're for
>made hot sauce before so plan on that
>one day he remembers to give them to me
>bite one in half
>not the worst just an achy stomach
>end up just using them raw on sandwiches
It hurt good. Said he'll give me another batch when they're ready.
Would it be worth it to drop one into a jar of bought gardenia or would it get too diluted?

>>19819522
also i don't know enough about botulism, could an un-prepared pepper infect a jar of pickles or jalapenos?

>>19817797
when the marketing and formulas went toward scoville units instead of good tasting peppers, too much heat overpowers the flavor, wish they selectively bred for other qualities more

That must have been a long time ago. Because i bought a bottle of da bomb in like 2006. That shit tastes like absolute ass and is only good for pranking people

>>19819590
you guys have too many tastebuds. 30K masterrace, da bomb is just strong in heat. you 90K fags talking about floral notes in a goddamn hot sauce. either you like spicy or you complain when you can't handle it.

>>19819596
I have no clue what 80% of what you just said means. Da bomb is just strong in heat but id rather just eat a habanero cuz da bomb tastes like ass

dabomb ground zero is the perfect hot sauce. i like to add it to chili and pasta sauce, because i can control the heat without adding much else, especially sodium. The flavor profile is smoky-chipolte, habanero, and citrus, but it's so very light compared to the extreme heat level, you cant fuck anything up with it unless you make it too spicy.
