Vinegar

[fury_tea]

Anyone make their own vinegar?
I bought some fresh apple cider vinegar with the mother in a while back, I am making cider so decided to sacrifice a couple litres for vinegar.

I made cider with store bought juice (8 litres apple, 2 litres mango and peach) then siphoned a couple of litres off and added the mother from the ACV.

2-4 weeks and it should be done and should get better.

I want to use some to make pickles and use some for a hot sauce.

I am thinking about getting a small oak barrel, making some beer vinegar and aging it in the barrel.

This could have been a good use for my rhubarb cider last year which turned out too acidic to drink and got binned.
I assume beer makes malt vinegar then?

I have a few apple trees and make the vinegar with the skin and the cores any windfall appleas which doesn't look too good go in as well.

Any odd bits of wine left over (not often) get added to a jug in the kitchen with some muslin over the top and turns into a vinegar in about a month or so.

Should of added I usually add a drop of unpasteurised acv to help it along .
