Drying chillies is a great way to preserve them until you are ready to use them. The good news is that you can still use these dried chillies in a fermentation! In this episode, I show you how to make a fermented hot sauce using dried chilli peppers. If you are looking to buy some hot sauce from me, check out the link below ⬇️

Knowledge on how to ferment dried peppers is definitely useful. Thought about this few times since dried peppers are easier to preserve - they do not occupy that precoius space in the freezer. Thank you for this great video!

It’s fun to go back in time just watching this video that you made for years ago he experiences the machinery that you have now a present compared to them big difference. I was looking for information on dried peppers and I can put that into a batch of hot sauce. I wasn’t thinking about fermentation, but rather a cook, but they gave me some ideas and some knowledge of how I’m gonna go about this as always a pleasure. Keep it spicy Marc from Montreal.

Hey just wanted to say thank you, i was born and raised here in south Louisiana and as you know Tabasco country, I love spicy food or adding spice to food. Unfortunately i do not like Tabasco as it is way to vinegary. Also i have found it very hard to find tastful hot sauces with a kick, except the same ole usuals ( franks, chalulla, Louisiana hot sauce,etc) you have inspired me to create my own sauces, been growing peppers for a few years now but never made hot sauces, but after watching alot of your videos, i feel confident i can do it and make some good quality hotsauces. Thanks again, and keep up the great work.

I wish I had seen this around New Years when I was trying to figure out how to ferment the dried chili peppers from my garden. I couldn’t find any methods used online. I ended up rehydrating the crushed dried chilies with boiled water and adding some fresh chili peppers to the mash and added brine. So far it’s going well. I’ll try your method next time thanks for sharing.

I made a hot sauce with 50/50 fresh and dried peppers. I didn't used a starter batch nor did I pre-water the dried ones.

Thanks for this. I live in an area where it's pretty much unfeasible to get fresh peppers in the quantities needed for good sauce, and I don't have room to grow them myself.

ChilliChump, as a starter can you use just a small amount of leftover fermented brine from a different kind of pepper than the dried pepper without altering the flavor noticeably? And how much starter is enough? And thanks for the idea of using the cabbage leaf, that's ingenious!

Great video. I added some dried to my last ferment and I was really really pleased with the flavour. I'd always been a bit snobby about the dried and didn't think they would ferment as well, but wow! I thought it gave it an extra depth of flavour. And needed far less emulsifier as well.

@Rattletrap-xs8il 4 года назад

I cant remember if I told you about his or not, but I use a Red Solo cup cut in half (about midway up the cup) Then I pierce the bottom of the cup full of small holes so the brine can go through it. Then I put the pierced solo cup bottom into the partially brine filled jar of peppers and push the peppers down with the cup. Then I top off the brine and put the cap on. This holds the peppers down and allows you to top off the brine if necessary.

Secondly, could you show us an example of what growth would look like on an improperly stored batch, just so we know what to look out for? Finally, I take a tsp of Turmeric every day in my protein shake (all you need is a tsp of Turmeric with some black pepper mixed in it to get the benefits). It helps with heart-related issues, but along with ginger is an incredible anti inflammatory for painful joints (and general pain management). Please keep up the good work and the best of luck for your growing company.

I've taken two approaches fermenting dried chilis. The first one is just whole chipotle chilis which I rinsed and just roughly split with a knife, topped up with brine and added a good shot of fresh whey for the lactobacillus, and that's fermenting and bubbling well after three weeks at room temperature - it took almost one and a half weeks to really get going. The other one is a mix of fresh habanero and rinsed, dried mulato chilis, blended with beetroot, some fish sauce and brine. It's also going well as it seems. No growth on any of the two. I'm dying to see how they develop. It's about time to put them in a fridge to slow everything down.

When opening up an ongoing fermentation and stirring it (especially when you start doing larger batches) you need to be careful because there is a chance of there being trapped co2 bubbles that will quite litterally explode when "set free".

I added pepper powder made from dried peppers to my hot sauce after the ferment by soaking the powder in my brine for about 12 hours before blending it all together.

It's been over a month now and no issues.
