For the 2.5% Brine:
Weigh your water in grams (1 cup of water weighs about 236 grams)
Multiply 236 x 0.025 = 5.9 grams of salt
For 1 Quart of Brine:
944 grams of water x 0.025 = 23.6 grams of salt
What are chile de àrbol?
Chile de arbol (a.ka. chile de àrbol, bird’s beak chile, or rat’s tail chile) may not be as popular as its close cousin cayenne pepper, but this slim chili will surprise you with its versatility. In fact, it’s one of our favorites for spicing things up because of its slim shape, short length, and potent but eatable heat (15,000 to 30,000 Scoville heat units).
Not only is this pepper terrific as chili powder or in hot sauces, but it’s also skinny and tiny enough to flavor foods, olive oil, and beverages as a whole dried pod. And, unlike other peppers, these chili pods keep their beautiful reddish tint when dried. This adds some serious wow factor in a bottle or as a garnish to a meal or spicy cocktail.

Great video! I was thinking of doing a fermented arbol, guajillo and ancho for like a chile colorado hot sauce when I came across your video. Perhaps I should not! Thanks for expirementing and sharing your result. Edit: Dried chiles ferment.
I like to throw a couple of Chipotles in my Chili De Arbol to add that smokey flavor.
Fermentation...the sequel!!
thanks mate. Maybe consider removing the seeds and the white stuff inside the chilis first to reduce the heat. Heat is good but well, not good at the same time right? I am surprised as well that fermenting wasnt good, because I heard sriracha and tabasco both ferment their sauce, and they are very tasty right?
Thank you for your feedback. Yes, I plan on taking the seeds out for my next batch. I also found this batch to be really bitter up front before the heat kicks in. Sriracha and Tobasco use fresh chilies. I'll continue experimenting with dried chilies as well as fresh. It's been interesting.
Could have put smaller amounts in the blender. Would have saved a lot of time.
You should rename this video because you're not giving us any secrets to ferment dried chili's. Your chili's are not dry And they're already fermented.... The first part of this video should be about the rehydration process, then the brine, then fermentation. Etc
Thank you. I look forward to improving our videos. Your feedback is much appreciated.
