PEPPERS WE USED:
Jalapeno (added more lime and garlic)
Jamaican red (super spicy)
Long red (solidly delicious)
Mystery green (international store bargain bin)
Fresno (for sriracha clone)
*We strained whey from a quart of whole milk yogurt with live cultures and got enough whey for about 2-3 lbs of peppers
