Frequently asked Questions

The folks at the hydromountain realize that the average Joe may have a hard time swallowing all the bullshit that is displayed at our tongue in cheek web site.

How did that nutty guy Pete get started with this hot sauce gig?

Answer: For many years Pete has been giving away his special blend. After a while, his wife Malathion gave him a kick in the ass and told him to get a real job. So he hooked up with a professional hot sauce maker and the rest is history.

Is it true that old man Tabasco has a bounty on Pete's head?

Answer: No, that is only a rumor created by people who have tried the sauce and discussion groups at hot sauce web sites?

How hot is it?

Answer: It's hot enough for the hot sauce gourmet who eats hot sauce every single day of his life. It will leave you wisping your lips for about five minutes. If you very rarely dabble in heat, you better stretch the sauce with a good barbecue sauce or salad dressing. It you can eat a habernero raw, it may not be hot enough. But then again, if you're eating haberneros straight, your taste buds are in another dimension by now.

Why the orange color?

Answer: There are a lot of red hot sauces already out there. Our blend has a carrot base and a lot of orange habernero peppers. It's actually quite striking when used by itself. It also mixes well with red barbecue sauces, blue cheese ,ranch dressing and even ketchup.

Can anyone jump on Pete's Bandwagon?

Answer: Only the few and the proud. e.g. The chosen few. If you think you have what it takes, submit your hot sauce bio to hydrohot@bellsouth.net Pete will get right you back with some tough questions that only a true endorphin crazed maniac will understand. If you pass, you may end up becoming addicted for life.

What's this about a membership?

Answer: We thought about this idea but we decided to scrap it. Anyone who needs hydroponic advice can simply e-mail us and we would be happy to tap into the resources at our disposal.  We provide answers based on Pete's coveted family manuscripts and years of pain in the ass trial and error testing.

Can I visit the hydromountain?

Answer: Call the hydrohotline during regular business hours and arrange a tour.The hydromountain is arguably the highest peak in the state of Florida. That's not saying much because Florida is relatively flat, but it is still quite a site to behold. The compound is guarded by several highly trained security personnel who are determined to protect these valuable peppers. Anyone caught where they shouldn't be is met with a nasty spray made from hydroponically produced peppers. (Of course)
