Haven't seen Eels for many years, just in an Asian market.Reminds me of Potted Eels in the UK.

Ahh, haven't thought of those lol

I'm going to pasteurize mine.... :grin:

Dont realy see the point, huge consumption of the Organic Vinegars and never read a problem. https://www.culturesforhealth.com/learn/kombucha/kombucha-vinegar-eels/

I bottled my vinegar today....Poured off the liquid from the mother (saving it for another batch) Strained through a coffee filter and pasteurized....
Dandelion ginger ale vinegar....The dandelion comes through nicely on the nose.

:hatsoff:

I have a bottle of commercial wine with about a cup left in it....I'm going to dilute it 50%, then shake to aerate, and then pour it on top of the mother...
It's been opened for over a week so hopefully any sulfides have had time to dissipate.

I need to filter and bottle mine. I think I try to get that done tomorrow.

I thought about getting some wine on sale but their are no sales worth buying to try and convert.

My wine was free and I got about 5 gallons. I filtered and bottled the vinegar this morning. I used some old whiskey bottles I had saved over the last few years. I did label them so there wouldn't be a mix up at some point. :grin:

I filtered it through cheese cloth and then through a coffee filter. It has some cloud to it but not much. It is a nice light yellow color. It has a mild taste with a good vinegar bite.

My daughters are already putting dibs on which bottles they get. I still have about 1-2 gallons of wine left, so may go ahead and add the mother to it and start another batch.

I need to set up a photo share site and post some pictures. I'll see if I can get that done in the next day or two.

https://imgur.com is the most reliable and easy to use.

I had been looking at that, but just hadn't taken to time to get it set up. Thanks.

I'll second imgur...I've had good luck with it, and its easy to use and set up.

I'm sure imgur will end up like photobucket but until then it works...

Test of posting vinegar photos

 

[Kansas Jake]

Okay, I was able to post the link. What do I do differently to post the actual photos?

 

[NeilMacleod]

You click on the icon 4 accross and one down that likes like pyramids with a sun, and place the link in their.

Also make sure you right click on the image and "copy image address"

 

[Kansas Jake]

Thanks. I'll give that a try.

It is a little hard to see things as I'm trying to post directly from my iPhone to avoid uploading the photos to the cloud or to my laptop.

I probably need to double click on the photo to get a "copy" option.

Where's the mother?....It looks more like a yeast fermentation.
