Author of the open sauce here. Coolt to see this on HN for the second time(!) Still making fermented sauces and pickles. Set Moroccan Salted Lemons this week actually. Happy to answer any questions. :-)

Do you always do a 5% brine? I usually do slightly over 4%. My brother in law does them at about 3%.

I grow all my own peppers in a community garden. My favorite to use for ferments are Buena Mulata. If you like to order seeds check out rareseeds.com.

Github is a very good blogging platform- easy access to all the files, issues are the comments section, stars are likes, people can fork and make PRs, mentions the date on top and uses markdown. what more could you ask for?

I'd say that it's about as much wiki as it is blog, because the timeline feature that separates a blog from a pre-blog "homepage" is hidden to the point of being missing. Makes me wonder how an "alternate history wikipedia" would be like, where pages had explicit maintainers and the cotton fork model. The process for selecting the current leading fork would obviously be a huge source of endless drama, but I'd expect…

I don't buy this, cuz like you mentioned itd be a source of endless drama alright but it'll also be harder to keep track of everything on Wikipedia if it were all a giant repo.. tho having different repos about each page sounds more sensible

Someone with Microsoft's copilot: Does that mean if you write "fermented chilli sauce recipe" in your IDE, it's now able to generate you a boilerplate recipe?

I'm getting this: # fermented chilli sauce recipe # https://www.bbc.co.uk/food/recipes/friedchilli_83671

Give it a bit more recipe in the prompt. You can force its hand.

Hey, Thanks for the recipe! I am also into fermented recipes. Quick question, where do you buy Habanero Chilis in Germany? I somehow never saw them in supermarkets or "wochenmarkt"s.

I'm from Germany and while I grow some chilis, if I need more I order from Westlandpeppers.

There is an argument to be made that a recipe is code, it just runs on a different platform

Yes, that's how I usually explain programming to someone unexperienced with it. A computer programming language is usually more strictly defined, but depending on compiler and architecture results can differ in computer progamming as well.

2018, 127 comments: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17540401 I made this back then! It’s what taught me to use gloves with chili. The capsaicin managed to permeate my skin, and for around 3 days my hands would start burning if they only got slightly warm. I had to sleep with my hands slightly raised, so they wouldn’t touch either the mattress or the covers (or my own skin). Nowadays, I always have nitrile gloves…

Use gloves if you’re ever handling a lot of tamarind as well. It’s more acidic than you might think and it will burn your skin.

I'm buying them regularly from the Asian shop in my town. They have fresh Habaneros, Jalapenos, and Thai peppers
