Hot Sauce lovers (and makers) gather round.
I love hot sauce. So much so it is sometimes disconcerting. Sriracha on my salad disconcerting. I have scoured the lands in search of "The Greatest Hot Sauce In Existance" and found that there really isn't one. Each sauce tends to be either extra flavourful, or ridiculously, face-meltingly, sun-lickingly hot. The closest I've come to both is substituting spaghetti sauce for Sriracha, but it still isn't quite what I want. So go ahead and post the sauces you use, and hopefully I won't have tried them yet.
And to you sauce makers, lend me your brains. I've been playing around with making hot sauces for a few months and I've concocted a few different recipes, and could use some help tweaking and perfecting them.

1 Anaheim pepper
1 Poblano pepper
3 Serrano peppers
5 Jalapeņo peppers (fire roasted)

Roast jalapeņos until outer layer is slightly charred (low heat)

TF's Tail Burning Hot Sauce:
5x red chilis
3x scotch bonnets
5x Habaneros
7x carrots
1x white onion
15x garlic cloves
1x cup white vinegar
8 TBS agave nectar
3x tomatoes (seeded)
Water from boiling carrots onion + garlic
Roast peppers and tomatoes until outer layer is charred (low heat)

Any ideas? They mild is fine for what it is, but the Tail Burner is missing something for flavour. It's heat is fine.
Do you guys have any recipes that work real well for you? I'd love to try them out.
By the way, let's spitball some ideas for names of my sauces. I'm terrible at making up names.
