Well, here it is. I was able to intercept my little homunculi in their creation of the first-ever public release of the ZERO Batch #4. The collector bottles aren’t finished yet, so we’ll only be able to offer 26 of these little pre-release (aka Prototype) gems. They may be small, but they pack one HELL of a punch. This has been accomplished by utilizing an extra procedural step in the long, arduous and machine-free creation and harvesting method we have always used in the making of the ZERO. These pre-release bottles will be signed & numbered and they will come with a Cretificate of Authenticity…Suitable for framing.
Each 5ml bottle used approx. 1 pound of dried orange HabanerosEach 5ml bottle used approx. 1 pound of dried orange Habaneros, do the math. This stuff basically blows the roof off of the previous ZERO Batch releases in heat. The actual ZERO Batch #4 collector bottle will not be ready until some time in April, this is a pre-release. I wish we could have been able to make more of these little Vessels of Doom, but alas, it is not to be so. I will not be bringing any of these to the Fiery Foods show, but will be taking orders for them (at the show). I would hate to see someone have to take a sip from one at the orders of a TSA agent, although it would be fun to watch. Get yours for only $25.00 (plus shipping). Please, no orders before the show dates.

Dang, every day I wish I was going more and more… Hot sauce, or a job… It’s becoming a harder and harder choice! 
Oh, I forgot to mention, they glow in the dark.
Very cool-
Save me one Defcon! I’ll pick it up at the show!
And forget the COA, I’m going to use this bottle! Sweet heavenly heat!
Oh boy, this one must be good. The heartbeats are growing louder by the day. Creator, you’d better have one with my name on it or I may not be able to return to my own house safely after NM!

Be careful what you wish for….I may have a bit of the stuff for tasting, so you may not have to open the vial, unless of course you really want to.

Oh! Tasting at the show! I’m in! My problem with sauces is, if I can’t open and use it, then I really don’t need it. So…yes, I’ll be opening mine up.
To each his own…

There is never enough pain. Pain…It does a body good.

Are Erlenmyer flasks really used to make this sauce? That would be hardcore.

They are used for the later stages. We start with larger boiling flasks, which we switch to Florence flasks for the short stage of osmodic reduction. We only use these in the final distillations.
