Pepper growers and sauce makers rely on these calculation tools every batch
Weigh your pepper harvest in grams, calculate the resulting SHU band automatically. Track fresh peppers, dried pods, and roasted varieties with precision weight inputs.
Enter your desired minimum and maximum SHU targets. The solver reverse-calculates exact pepper ratios needed, filling the blend so your midpoint lands inside your specification.
Browse published Scoville ranges for habaneros, ghost peppers, jalapeños, and dozens more. Filter by mild, medium, hot, or extra hot classifications with flavor tag search.
Add tomato base, mango purée, vinegar, olive oil, and other non-heat ingredients. Live bottle heat recalculates instantly as you adjust dilution ratios for your recipe.
Scale your proven formula from test batch to production run. Specify total grams or jar count, see ingredient breakdowns visualized in min-mid-max bar charts.
Track pepper varieties on your shelf with quantities and SHU ranges. See your hottest bottles compared, organize formulas by heat tier, manage your ingredient inventory.
Volcano Sauce performs all SHU calculations on your device without requiring internet connectivity. The pepper database, solver algorithms, and batch scaling math run entirely in local storage, ensuring your recipes and formulas stay private.
Unlike approximation tools, this app uses published Scoville ranges for each chile variety and calculates minimum, midpoint, and maximum heat bands. The target solver applies ratio mathematics to determine exact pepper gram amounts needed to land within your specified SHU window.
The interface mirrors how sauce makers actually work: weigh peppers on a scale, adjust for dilution bases like vinegar or tomato, scale the proven formula to jar batches, then generate heat labels. Each step updates live bottle heat calculations instantly.
