Sick man that sounds fun and productive. Did you do asian hot sauce like the rooster sauce? Is your wine fruit wine or something traditional with grapes?

I'm still in the ghetto fridge pickling phase but I've got dreams.

A still is my next project after the gardens.

You know, I'm not sure I've ever had sriracha. I just tends towards Mexican rather than Asian. I primarily use only 3 store bought ones. Yellowbird if I want it sweet, El Yucateco xxx sauce when I don't, and Lousiana when I want to add heat without flavor.

I've done a few grape wines but mostly I do apple, cranberry, and lemon/lime. I guess you could call the last two cider and hard lemonade rather than wine but... semantics really. Same process.

I like pickling too. I haven't done cucumber pickles because I don't know where to buy pickling cucumbers. I grow peppers and pickle them. Used to have a bunch of serranos before I got a kitten. Gizmo really murdered my garden. He's an adorable monster though. Now I have a crop in a kitten free zone coming in that I think might be thai chilis but I'm not 100%. But when they're done I'll have too many to use so I'll use what I can fresh, dry/pickle/ferment the rest.

Hahaaa I'd eat my cat if it messed up my garden. I haven't done proper pickles yet either, but I think you can slice any cucumber and pickle/brine the slices. I brought up the Sriracha because it's fermented... I think that's one of the secrets of its success. Maybe other hot sauces are fermented too. Anyway keep it up, good stuff.
