Brewing Vinegar

[Kansas Jake]

When this batch is done, I see I need to follow your example and branch out in my vinegar making.

Started a new batch a few days ago, made apple cider Vinegar before that, very satisfying. Noticed theirs a thread on Vinegar as sanitation use so might as well do one on making it.

This is a Malt Vinegar, basically brew beer and then introduce a vinegar culture. I originally used the dregs from a bottle of Braggs ACV, it developed into a "Gell", like kombucha, so once this beer is done and cleared Il add the culture so it converts the alcohol to acetic acid.

Last time I just used natural Apple Juice from the store, simple.

Starter.

the last photo looks like it has magats in it.

I've got a batch of old peach wine that has been going for a couple of months now. I think it is about done and is now vinegar and is close to being ready to bottle. I never did really build a mother on top of the brew, but has a nice vinegar smell.

The best way I know of to make vinegar is try to make wine...works every time.

Every, I started with a peach wine received from a friend that was not the best to drink. I had made a batch of vinegar from some of it earlier that turned out pretty well. It has a good bite with a little fruity aftertaste. I decided to turn the rest of it into vinegar too.
