I guess that ' s the thing about the Scoville scale , idk if they use the final product or the peppers it ' s made from , ' cause the pineapple and other flavors can definitely undercut the hot flavor . <| sep |> I think you ' ve got that backwards . I ' ve always been told the wetter the stronger . Maybe a concrete guy can chime in ? Edit There may be a bit of confusion to my response . I wasn ' t saying it would be stronger the more it ' s like soup . I mean in terms of the manufacturers mix ratio , slightly more water is stronger than slightly less water . It seems the mix used in the post was less than the manufacturers recommendations , so the particles do not fully mix , thus making it weaker . <| sep |> Too late already pulled xD
