Hot Sauce 
You can make professional grade hot sauces at home. It is easy and rewarding once you learn Jim's secrets to really good hot sauce. Did you know that hot sauce is made from fermented peppers called pepper mash. We have three pepper verities mashed and ready to use.
The SHU scale was developed in 1912 by William Scoville to rate the preserved heat of hot peppers. SHU rating identifies the parts per million of capsicum in a pepper. Capsicum is the substance which gives peppers their heat. The human tongue can detect as little as 1 part per million of capsicum

Whether you're a beginning sauce maker, or just curious about what it would be like to make your own hot sauce?  Taste The Heat evaluates three hot sauce kits with a variety of results. A wise man once said "Never judge a book by its cover." The same wise man never heard of the hot sauce kit from Leener's Brew Works. Kit includes: 4 oz jalapeno pepper mash, 2 oz hot curry, 2 oz black cumin, 2 oz ancho pepper, 2 oz jamaican jerk. 2 oz chipolte pepper, three 5 oz woozy bottles, instructions and recipes. And that is just what is on the cover.
Inside this kit I found a little more than a few pieces of paper and the basic ingredients for making sauce.  No, inside this kit I found the makings of the next hot sauce manufacturer.  This could be you, one of my readers or the gentleman down the block with the poodle that yips though out the night. 
Rather than run through a list of things that I liked about this kit, I STRONGLY suggest you spend the money and try this kit for yourself. Out of the three kits I evaluated, I found this one to be the most educational and enjoyable. Thomas Burbridge, Editor
