People who are kind enough to try my pepper sauces - something to know... if they're too hot you can cut them without changing the flavor profile too much.
My base mix is 66% Filtered Water, 33% Vinegar (mostly cider vinegar) - so if you want to cut it to cut the heat - that's my golden ratio.
Open up the bottle, pour it in a pot, add in the extra liquid, cook for a few (until boil) let cool, re-bottle.

Same for modifying base flavor profile - most of these are very pepper forward and if you've never had a really hot pepper - they kind of have a funk.. .it's not like bell / jalapeno
I use things like sugar, honey, molasses, or splenda to add sweetness (and body). So if the Ghost sauce isn't sweet enough or you are punched in the nose by the garlic - just add stuff like sweet or a complimentary savory note - boil and re-bottle.
Every time I have people in my house try it they say "it's not sweet enough" but I wanted to showcase the pepper flavors - not make a BWW wing sauce.. .but you can! Enough brown sugar and honey with a fat (butter) will make a good wing glaze.
Lastly, I didn't use a lot of xanthan gum in these batches - so there will likely be some separation - so shake well before using.
Peru 2: Habanero base with a few super hots thrown in, a chile lime spice blend, cumin, garlic, lime juice, and lime zest.
Ghost: Red Ghost Pepper base with a few more hots thrown in - bourbon (cooked out), brown sugar, and garlic.

There are a few random 2 oz bottles of "Passion Fruit".
Also a habanero base (I had a lot) with a passion fruit concentrate, honey, brown sugar, and molasses.
That one is, in fact, sweet... and hot. My wife tasted it and said (lovingly) "It's good but I want to punch you" :)
