Vinegar connoisseurs comment... (hot peppers related)

Also difference in other vinegars buying a quality product and a store brand. Differences in flavor

I always wanted to make a hot sauce for fried foods using malt vinegar because it goes so good with fried foods, but never took the time.

I dont know if they do or not.

different Strokes for different folks

I wouldn't imagine that they have different qualities of Acetic acid. Maybe fermenting it slower rather than faster gives off a slightly different flavor, idk

I use plain old white vinegar for my hot sauces and they come out good. I’ve used apple cider as well. I didn’t know they had different quality plain white vinegar

I like Apple Cider for my hot sauces. It seems a little less sharp if that makes sense.

My peppers have been for shite this year, so I'll have to end up buying some. My favorite pepper combo came off an episode of Bizarre Foods when he went to Jamaica. They briefly detailed a vinegar based sauce there. Stick of cinnamon, whole allspice, shallots, etc, etc. It's my go to sauce for everything now. I've been using cayennes for it, but they used scotch bonnets.

Cayennes and Tabasco peppers have been my favorites for sauces so far. Jalapenos have a vegetal flavor that I don't care for. I'm surprised that someone hasn't come out with a line of flavored, vinegar pepper sauces. My Jamaican one is legit. Other experiments not so much.
