I do fermented hot sauces regularly. I don't know if it is me specifically but when I was trying to follow recipes they'd mold every time. Once I stopped following directions and started eyeballing everything I got better ferments. As much science as there is to fermenting at the end of the day humans have been throwing random shit in jars and calling it good for generations, and it can be just as much a 'by the feels' kind of thing
