Science based Pepper level adequacy determination.
1st observation from Glen's video series: Many to most recipes fail to match the perceived pepper level of real KFC OR 2nd observation from Glen's video series: Glen seemed to best like the pepper level of the Dustin Recipe
Presumptions: Black and White Peppers have a nominal Scoville 'Equivalence' of ~7,500 SHU Cayenne Pepper has a nominal Scoville of 40,000 SHU
Knowns for Dustin's recipe when scaled to 200 grams of flour: Black Pepper = 2.38 grams White Pepper = 2.38 grams Cayenne Pepper = 0.59 grams
Aggregate Scoville for Dustin's: (2.38 x 2 x 7,500) + (0.59 x 40,000) = 59,300
Assumption: 59,300 becomes the target for Aggregate Scoville
Question: How many grams of combined B&W Pepper alone will nominally match 59,300 Aggregate Scoville?
Answer: 59,300/7,500 = 7.9 grams of combined B&W Pepper (likely give or take a few 10th's of a gram based on Pepper lots/age/etc...)
Proposal: Simply call it 8 grams of B&W Pepper for ease of remembrance
Personal Observation: Too much White Pepper introduces a vaguely "muddy" tasting pepperiness with diminished 'bite'.
Guess as to optimal breakdown: 3 grams fine White Pepper 2.5 grams fine Black Pepper 2.5 grams coarse Black Pepper

Dissecting a frog a million times is meaningless when the subject is a lizard.
