Another Aussie Hot Head!

[billyboy]

G'Day! I thought Id better make myself be known, seeings all my fellow countrymen have been making introductions! Im billyboy, Im a mad chilli grower & eater from the land of Oz, I have a fascination with Nagas & Im growing them indoors & out, Ive picked up lots of info & tips from you guys & gals already during my lurking status here & hope I can contribute to this fantastic forum you share here. :)

[chilliman64]

allow me to be the first to say gday and welcome to THP billyboy! happy to see another Aussie on board though it is starting to get a little crowded with all these Queenslanders around...

maybe you can regale our fellows here about the colour of my face and the amount of sweat pouring off my head when you last saw me at the chilefest at Byron Bay. I'm still chuckling over that 'mild' incident ;)

[bentalphanerd]

G'day billyboy (of laura's Byron Bay stall fame)

Welcome to THP

[billyboy]

Hey:) G,Day you two! Thanks for the welcome. Yep we have a couple of magical chilli moments shared between us already :) chillimans sweaty encounter with some nasty Bhut powder which had him in a state of some unknown jabbering language doing an impersonation of a matador with his chilli bandanna:) And bent in the mystical greeting triangle :shocked:

[bentalphanerd]

anyone might think we were poaching all the aussies :eh:

Is that an invite? [grabs the car keys]

[fisting_mayfield]

No, realy we should!!!

There are enough of us here... we should do it

Later on in the year of course, maybe march?

[bentalphanerd]

There are festivals on around the place fisting - Byron Bay in Sept was a great event. Next one I think is in Vic in Feb. Keep an eye out in the forum for details as they come to hand.

[fisting_mayfield]

yeah, but a forum get together would be great!

[bentalphanerd]

I can almost feel the hangover already :P

Between kids & school & jobs etc it's going to be a bit hard to nail down, but I'm up for it. Coffs Harbour looks fairly 'central' to us all.

[fisting_mayfield]

wooo!!!!

We should start a thread on this later on, and stop threadjacking billyboy!

[bentalphanerd]

:lol: I didn't look...thought this was your welcome message:doh:

sorry BB

[fisting_mayfield]

LOL!

[Pishk]

Welcome!! With the amount of Aussies popping up I think we should rename this site. Maybe something to the effect of "thehotpeppersdownunder.com" or something. Maybe even "crikeythatsahotpepper.com". Any other suggestions?

[billyboy]

Thanks for the big warm welcome everyone :)
This place sure is busy!

Good to see you around,
Mick

[billyboy]

Hi stillmanz :) The Nagas are huge growing inside under one 400watt light one plant is all that I have room for!

BTW stillmanz, my favorite sauce from your range is "FIRE":mouthonfire:

[chilliman64]

This plant is approx 4 foot high by 4 foot wide & loaded with nasty looking pods! Of the 8 plants that I started with inside, 5 are now outside in my netted naga house & 3 are under 2 by 400watt lamps one a HPS sontagro & the other a MH Retro.

[chilliman64]

mmmmmmmmmmm... they look good enough to eat! great pic!!!

[stillmanz]

I hate you...lol

they are perfectly ugly nagas.

[billyboy]

:) grown from seeds from my good mate Tony of nagaseeds.

[bentalphanerd]

[fisting_mayfield]

I cant wait for my bhut jolokia to grow up big and strong...

[POTAWIE]

Then Welcome Home :cool:

[rainbowberry]

They look great Billyboy. My first Naga has just ripened but it's tiny compared to yours. I also was given the seeds by Tony. I didn't think I'd get any ripe fruit this year though as I started them late in the season and the weather hasn't helped (England) so I'm quite happy with my baby one.

[billyboy]

Hi rainbowberry:) the Nagas in the photos are my hydro Nagas, grown in coco coir under a drip fed system under 16 hours of light per day where I only feed for the first 14 hours @ each hour of lights on where Im looking for 10 to 20 percent runoff each day i.e.what runs to waste.

[billyboy]

Realistically I think one of these Naga plants under one 400watt light is ideal, anymore & its going to get overcrowed!

[Volrathy]

Gday,

Im from wyong nsw currently an avid collector of chilli sauces. I have 50+ bottles. Im addicted. Really interested in buying some Naga based sauces but its hard to find decent hot sauce here hopefully you guys can help :)

Also interested in purchasing dried chili eg Naga / Habs etc.

If anyone can point me in the direction of an Australian website where I can buy this stuff from I would be most grateful. Currently I heavily rely on fireworksfoods.

[bentalphanerd]

G'day Volrathy, welcome to THP. The Naga's are only just turning up in Oz now, shouldn't be too long before some local sauces start appearing.
Can't be fast enough though :onfire:

[Volrathy]

As long as its not Byron Bay chili id get some. Tastes like maggots that sauce does worst sauce ive ever tried. http://www.thechillifactory.com/ is great though

[bentalphanerd]

Hehe - have a read of the review I did on BB chilli co's sauce LINK HERE (http://www.thehotpepper.com/showthread.php?t=2128)

The chillifactory's Turbo-Supercharge Hab paste is hard to beat. Have you tried 'Ol man stillmanz' collection? (a member here on THP) and maker of some of the best local sauce.

Did you happen to get to the Byron Bay Chilli Festival in Sept.?

[Volrathy]

Im targetting sawtel next year as my first chili festival.

Yeah I seen his stuff thinking about putting in an order soon. (after i get some naga snakebite)

at least someone agrees about byron bay chili co ive tried them all utter dross.. ..

chilifactory is best local stuff ive found.
morning after burn goes well on pork chops / chicken.
Turbo charge is great for stir frys.
Fiery frillneck hiss is abit "weird" I think its the smoke flavour but its good as a marinade on things like shish kebabs and stuff

crazy bull is great as well http://www.crazybull.com.au/

imported stuff. . .
ive been hitting jim beam hot sauce hard recently (this is my main sauce at the moment)
big fan of mega death for pain (but tastes like battery acid).
daves stuff for flavour.
da bomb for stuff I want 1 drop of extra hurt in.
pain 100% when mixed with fried rice ftw.
nandos xtra hot is a classic and goes with everything.
franks is good on chicken

Like i think ive tried every hab as far as sauce goes need to hti some naga soon.

[fisting_mayfield]

Volrathy, there is a bloke on the central coast that has naga seedlings for sale.

http://www.thechilliman.biz/

Great bloke!

[stillmanz]

Volrathy Mate have you tried any Redback chilli co's stuff I bet you'd like it. He's also got a festival 16 th 17th February at his farm in Jindivick
Everyone loves chilli factory its good stuff too, His stuff is everywhere these days... Have you ever met Marcell he's good value.

Great bloke!

what did you get from thechilliman fist?

I'm a fan of thechilifactory also - I always have some of their turbosupercharge on hand when I don't have any of my own hab mash available. I also like their fiery frillneck hiss, though a reasonable substitute can be made by mixing tomato sauce, hab mash and some liquid smoke - in fact I made some up earlier in the year and couldn't tell the difference!
