What kind of vessel do you use to make large batches of fermented hot sauce? Like larger than a half gallon. I've been fermenting for over four years and I like to leave my ferments for over six months- I'm not sure if that's overkill really but I've had hundreds of different kinds of hot sauces and it seems like any kind of fermented hot sauce is better than the best non-fermented hot sauce

I've recently been looking for an older book of Edgar Allan Poe's, not a particular book, just an older one. And I found a seller on Etsy that has a great selection of Poe books (as well as related books)- one of the books is a leather book from about 85 years ago and I've seen similar ones for sale on various sites but I haven't found a price on any of them yet because the listings are a bit old. The book that he has listed has a bronze medallion of Poe on the cover and he described it as being the only one he's seen like this. So I started looking and I found the medallion for sale a few places for around $75- it was produced by a group called The Hall of Fame of Great Americans at the University of New York. It seems to have been produced in 1963 so it's much newer than the book so I started looking at his other listing and out of about 80 books a couple of them seem to have newer covers than their age would suggest.

Maybe I'm being paranoid because the books are just in the $200-600 range so I'm not thinking that they're elaborate forgeries but I've been wondering if some dealers buy books and then alter them and sell them for twice the average cost or something of this nature. I can post the link to the shop if that's allowed. I really don't know where else I might find someone that knows a lot about older books or this specific of a question. Thanks in advance.

No judgement here but was David always drunk or whatnot when he performed? I haven't seen a lot of his live performances but I've been drunk enough times to recognize when someone is drunk. I don't mean he sounded bad or anything like that because he played guitar perfectly in the videos that I've seen but I can see it in his eyes and hear it in his voice.

I'm not sure where to post this so forgive me if this annoying but where do you get side panels for a server rack? I recently bought a home with a 19" server rack with security and audio equipment and it's about 21-22" deep but it's adjustable- do server rack side panels have to be bought from the manufacturer or custom made/sized because I'm just finding the 19" blank panels for the front back and I've looked for several days off and on.

Thanks in advance- if it matters I'm not looking for a full side panel as I'm mainly trying to cover the power cords and the somewhat ugly floor and also make it look better/cleaner aha.

I'm not sure if it's me or what but I've been growing vegetables for about ten years and for the last several years I've gotten less and less production each year. I mainly grow tomatoes and hot peppers in pots and last year I'd guess I got about 8-10 pounds of peppers (roughly, because I only weighed them when I was starting a ferment) but I spent at least $250 on organic soil, fertilizer, and various amendments and who knows how many hours altogether taking care of them. So I'm thinking that works out to at least $25 a pound for the peppers.

Maybe I'm doing something horribly wrong because I'm thinking you could get some really nice peppers for $25 a pound aha. The only environmental thing I can really think of is the weather has gotten worse over the years- sometimes it doesn't rain for weeks and then it will flood for a week off and on like this repeatedly. I water the plants if it's very dry and they're in pots so I wouldn't think this would hurt the peppers too much. I know for sure it's hard on the tomatoes though.
