Crystal hot sauce is my goto. Tangy and just the right amount of heat to casually throw on anything if you don't want to go into battle mode. Frank's come close. Surprised that I'm the only one mentioning Crystal.
Secret Aardvark I think would be my second goto if you aren't looking for a hot sauce with the acidity of Crystal, Tabasco, Frank's, etc.

Trappey's Bull is good. Also have a few varieties of Tabasco (jalapeno, scorpion pepper, cayenne & garlic), and some made by the students at a local culinary program.

My own. I lacto ferment peppers with (and or) garlic, sjalots, ginger, veg, fruit, paprika, herbs, spices. It is easy to make.

I haven't tried that many hot sauces but I like hot sauces that have a good mix of both heat and flavor. What I prefer depends on what I'm eating, so sometimes I prefer Tapatio and other times I prefer (real) Sriracha. I do also sometimes use other hot sauces like the ghost pepper ranch from Wendy's when I can get them.

Cholula garlic, Valentina, Melinda's habenero garlic and various yellow bird.

Valentina is the only true hot sauce. It makes Chalula taste like dogshit in comparison. That's how perfect it is.
I like both but for different reasons. Valentina is thick and has a very vinegar tang, great if I want a punchier mouthful of sauce like on tacos. Cholula tends to blend in with the food, makes for a more even heat, plus the variety of flavors is awesome.

BOMBA CALABRESE. Sorry, I can't say it in lowercase. It's just crushed peperoncini and oil. Yummmmm
I put it on pizza, in soup, curry, stew, I dip my cheeses and fingers in it.Cholula for eggs but it's hard to find around here.
I'll be on the lookout for Valentina as it's been brought up often in this thread.

El Yucateco Mayan Recipe

my favorite used to be a sauce named "amor" that was primarily centered around southern california and baja california.
it was a little bit like cholula, but w MUCH stronger vinegar punch to it and it makes my mouth water every time i think about it on top of chips or other snacks; sort of like frank's hot sauce if it were more sour and more picante at the same time.
the brand still exists, but their recipe changed significantly about 20-ish years ago and i've been unable to find anything like it to call my favorite.
All that buildup only for heartbreak in the last sentence!

Thats the one! Imma have to have a word with the guy that said they dont make it anymore.
Thanks!

Valentina. Not very hot, but I like it and use it like ketchup.
Try the black label if you want a bit more heat.

Do you use an airlock or do you burp the vessel when you ferment?

Love Valentina so much. Not too spicy, but it's got such a unique flavour too.
