PSA: I was fermenting my hot sauce in a sealed jar for months before a friend in Boise pointed out the lid.

He saw my setup and said, 'Dude, you're gonna make a bomb,' which made me realize I'd been trapping all the gas without a proper airlock for over six months.

Glad your friend stopped by before you redecorated the kitchen with exploding peppers! Seriously though, that's some scary pressure building up in there. You basically invented a spicy science experiment by accident. Next time maybe just use a cheap airlock or even just leave the lid slightly loose. My heart rate spiked just reading this.

Burping the jar daily is a must, trust me, I've seen what happens when you don't.
