To make it even more complicated, I think some sauces are hotter on some 
days than on other days - like it's my personal chemistry, *and* my 
chemistry changes from day to day.

As for refrigeration, it depends on the ingredients in the sauce. Fruity 
sauces, for example, should always be refrigerated, but sauces like 99% 
Habanero Mash, which is just habaneros, salt and vinegar (and one of my 
current favorites!), can last outside the refrigerator indefinitely.
