RE: Making Vinegar November 15, 2018 @goldenoakfarm
Your bottling and fermenting efforts are inspirational @goldenoakfarm. I would love to try apple cider vinegar. Those mothers are huge! Will you share you recipe?
There's no recipe. You just press the apples, put the cider in jars. Cover with cheesecloth. Put in cool place out of the sun. Wait several weeks. Once it's got a mother, take off the cheesecloth, put on a non-reactive cap and store in a cool, dark place.
You don't get mold? My friend tried it with and without apples (once juicing) and there was a mold problem. She says it took months to ferment which is why I haven't made any yet
There was a small amount of mold on a couple of mothers in the very first batch I made. I washed the mothers off and they were fine. I've not had a problem with mold since, but I used buttercloth until this time, when I used 1/2 buttercloth and 1/2 cheesecloth. Have not checked the jars. Had thought to do it today, but alas, too tired....
