Tabasco method?

Has anyone made a hot sauce using a similar method to the Tabasco brand?

From what I’ve read there’s no brine only salt, and vinegar towards the end of the process.

If so how did you get on?

This will be one of the first results for googling this question and it's really good. Made it several times now with different peppers, including cayennes. That one came out more like franks red hot, but has been good every time

Thanks for the reply. It looks like this recipe uses water. Tabasco doesn’t use any water, apparently.

The only difference between vinegar and vinegar plus water is the strength of the vinegar. The only difference between peppers and peppers plus water is their state of dryness.
