A quick suggestion: if you're just starting out and you're the sort who gets frustrated when things don't turn out as expected (I am), stick with the tried-and-true ferments until you've gotten your feet wet and know what to expect.

That aside, I highly recommend the books Fermented Vegetables and Fiery Ferments. Between them, they cover most vegetables and chilis you can get your hands on.

As for "out there", I'm not sure if these qualify, but I've done Queen Anne's Lace vinegar, spruce tip hotsauce, milkweed bud capers, Japanese knotweed achar, green kimchi, and leek root and sunchoke ferments, to name a few.

Got it for Christmas a couple years back, it's a really great resource with some good recipes. If you're into spicy foods, the same authors also wrote this:

I've been making hot sauces for several years now, and I think probably the best advice to use on top of everything already said here is to simply try making lots of different sauces. I started off making simple uncooked sauces for the first year or two, then shifted over to cooked sauces and found I liked those better in general. I made (and still make) vinegar forward sauces, less vinegary sauces, fruity sauces, tomato-based sauces, and many other experimental things that either work or don't work to my taste. The question you ask at the bottom of your post re: specifics is really a matter of personal taste. Try making different sauces and see what you like! I don't always want a fermented sauce, and sometimes what I'm eating calls for something less vinegary/more vinegary, or even fruity! You'll probably find that you want to have several different kinds around.

The hot sauce book mentioned in this thread is a good one (I own it and have used it for years), and there are a few others out there that are fun, too. The book, Fiery Ferments, helped me break into fermented sauces, and I've had some fun this summer using some of the recipes for inspiration in my own creations. I pay attention to recipes whenever I find them, either here or elsewhere, and I make note of interesting ingredients that I might want to try.

I also have found that it's helpful to write down the recipe I create when I'm making a sauce. I weigh and/or measure the volume of each thing I add, and then record that for future reference along with any other steps in my process (cook time, blending, etc.). Documenting my process has resulted in a couple of solid recipes that I devised on my own, and it's fun to make then year after year.

Bottom line: find yourself a mess of peppers and start making sauces!

Yes, though personally I recommend Fiery Ferments over Hot Sauce but that's because I'm more interested in fermenting peppers for hot sauces, which the former delves into more - the latter has a greater collection of recipes so depends on what you're looking for.
