Do you blend your own chili powder?

Resurrecting this!

I’m about to place an order, probably with Whole Spice, maybe Penzey’s, are maybe someone new that someone has been sharing here. I hink I might like the packaging.

I use chili powder at least once a week, sometimes my own, sometimes bought from Whole Spice or Penzeys.

I also have a lot of bulky bulky whole peppers from my garden that I’ve dried.

When I read about recipes like Alton B’s online, that he says I can keep for six months, I’m not sure why that would be better than buying a quality blend for convenience, if I will use it within six months.

But I’d still have a lot of dried chilis from 2019, and might need to make room for 2020.

Is anyone else mixing their chili/chile powder/blends from whole dried 2020 peppers, or from their garden?
