That's a good theory. The comment sections of recipe sites are a goldmine of info and iteration. I like the idea of adding agave.

Update: I made a new batch today with the following. Instead of 1.5 lbs jalapenos, I used 1lb cherry hot peppers, 0.5 lb Thai red chilis and 2 habaneros. Also, no white sugar, and only 1/3 c brown sugar. Put 1/4 c salt, because I thought the first iteration was not salty enough. This batch is fucking amazing, and I think I like it more than store bought sriracha. Its maybe a touch salty. I think that I might have thought the first batch wasn't salty enough, because the overpowering sweetness killed everything else. Its mostly perfect, however, and I would highly recommend.

There needs to be some sort of hubski warm weather homemade potluck meetup where you bring this. I'll bring fresh roasted iced coffee. We can put whiskey in it.
