Argghh, the Nursery screwed up on this and they don't have any more ghost peppers. What they actually sold me was ChefJeff Caribbean Red Hot Pepper described as 2x hotter than habenero.
"This is “The World’s Hottest Pepper” that you can easily cultivate at home. It is more than twice as hot as the standard Habanero Pepper. The fiercely hot, wrinkled fruit tapers to a blunt point and turns from green to red when ripe. The pungent hot aroma will explode like fireworks in your mouth when you take a bite. These 1½ inch long and 1 inch wide peppers create intense heat in salsas, marinades, salads, cooked dishes or when making your own hot sauces. This exclusive variety of Caribbean Red Hot Pepper grows to a height of 2-3 feet and has a heat index of more than 445,000 Scoville units"
Hopefully, the Carolina Reaper turns out to be a Carolina Reaper.
BTW, Scott. Ghost pepper beer sounds like a combination made in heaven...or should I say hell.
