While doing Xmas shopping the other night I found 1 gallon
glass jars at The 1/2 Price Store. $4.99, with glass lids and
metal ring-hinge-thingies. They also come with rubber
gaskets and instructions for using them for canning. I won't
use them for canning, as I have seen too many canning sites
advising against them, but they will/are being put to use as
fermentation tanks for hot sauce. Currently brewing in one:
1 qt. dried Arledge Hot peppers
1 qt. (almost) Bulgarian Carrot peppers
1.75 bulbs garlic
3/4 cup canning salt
vinegar to make 3/4 gallon total
The Arledge Hots will give a strong, long-lasting total mouth
heat, and the Bulgarian Carrots will add a nice tingle to the
lips (at least, that's where it lingers for the wife and I). I had
to lick the spoon to verify this (darn!).
Scott... no sacrifice too great... KCK
