BERLIN SUPERHOT PROJECT

A SUPERHOT SAUCE FOR BERLIN by Crazy Bastard Sauce

We want to make a local hot sauce for Berlin, made in Berlin and from ingredients grown in Berlin. The city has many allotments, urban farms and gardens which can supply us with great ingredients like apples, pumpkins, onions and even sweet peppers and chilis.

But we need something hotter than the average chili. We want to work with some of the worlds hottest chilis, grown in Berlin.

Many of our customers are also chili lovers and hobby gardeners, with years of experience of growing chilis on their balconies, in their apartments or in their gardens and allotments (if they are lucky enough to have them), so we want to ask for your help to grow superhot chilis in Berlin for 2020.

WHAT IS A SUPERHOT SHILI?

A Superhot chili is any type of chili pepper that is typically rated at 1 million Scoville or higher. It starts with the famous Ghost Pepper, also known as the Bhut Jolokia, and it goes all the way up to about 2 million Scoville with chilis such as the 7 Pot brain strain, the Trinidad Scorpion and the world record holder Carolina Reaper. There may be even hotter hybrid chilis out there.

If you’re not sure about the Scoville rating of your chili just look it up on Wikipedia, most of the common ones are listed on there. If you can’t find it on Wikipedia just take a big bite of the chili, and if you have a near death experience it’s probably a Superhot.

WHERE DO I GET THE CHILI PLANTS?

By now it may be too late in the season to grow from seed, so we have some young superheat plants for sale to help you get started. These are available on our pickup website: www.crazybb2b.com

Alternatively, you can get the very same plants delivered anywhere in Berlin from https://chilipunk.com

We do not send child plants in the post. They get damaged.

HOW DO I CARE FOR THE CHILIS?

Join the facebook group Berlin Chili Growers Group – This is a space for child growers to ask questions, give tips, share progress and connect with the wider Berlin clili growing community. There are also some very experienced growers in that group who will be happy to help out if you have any problems or questions.
