We need a far more violent operation than high-speed rotating knives

A little bit questionable glove hygiene. I was also surprised by the lack of safety goggles and a respirator. The preparation mostly went smoothly, but I would think one would want to be prepared for an accident.

He did mention that he'd be wearing a mask if not for making the video, but yeah. VO'ing the prep would have been a safer call.

I'm only 23 minutes in--and even though I'm not a pepper person I'm finding it very engrossing--BUT, why on earth would you pour the liquid into the centrifuge tubes by hand, rather than using a pipette or, y'know, something to make sure the tubes were equally filled? This seems like the last place you would want an unbalanced centrifuge falling off the counter!

Ketchup is quite spicy enough for me, thank you very much.

I'm good with Tabasco or a jalapeño, but that's about my limit. I would try spicy chocolate, though.

someone ordered pure capsaicin crystals 6 years ago, was never heard from again... I hope they are OK.

I am totally enthralled by this video. I can't decide if it's because the host is so incredibly knowledgeable (and very adept at explaining) about complex physical processes, or because they've got a shop full of expensive equipment but are apparently on a $12 budget for producing the video itself.
Anyway. I guess the moral of the story is, more cooking shows should feature centrifuges.

I'm a recovered hot sauce guy - back in my 20's I absolutely would have been after the 10 fold concentrate stuff. These days when I ferment hot sauces, I really do focus on making something that's spicy, but not blow off your nose. Like 2-3x the heat of a tabasco but with flavor that's more than just vinegar.
But what these guys are doing - that's my jam. Science for fun. And yeah, better sound would be nice. I don't suffer from misophonia but the chewing was a bit too much for my taste.

The secret quirk / hubris of white people is that we can’t do anything in moderation; everything is either the wildest and most bafflingly extreme version of a thing or nothing at all.
Everyone always jokes about white people not being able to stand anything spicier than mayonnaise until they run into the absolute madman who is developing a hot sauce that can deforest everything within ten miles if someone spills it because the stuff he gets online doesn’t have the burn he needs to give him his fix anymore.
It’s always some guy who looks like the presenter in this video.

This guy gets it. Cooking is not just hucking ingredients into a bowl and calling it day. Sometimes you gotta level up.
