Apple Cider Vinegar (ACV) Made In Your Own Kitchen

[@jamesryan6224]

If I grew up having a Dad, I'd want him to be like you! Blessings!

[@carnicavegirl7214]

I was thinking the same thing ❤

[@kathypackham2377]

A few years back I was bitten by a brown recluse spider . I was rushed by ambulance with 108 degree temp. I was fainting. About 45 minutes after I got there my leg started to look like hamburger. The damage had begun. I don't think they knew what else to do but to give me antibiotics and pain meds. Two and a half days later when I got home my daughter and I started to wash and Pat my leg with soap and water then we'd Pat generously with a c v . Within 5 days my leg was completely healed. Thank God. I have so many stories about it. The chemicals in the vinegar are the same as in the best. Of acne lotions. It is a funguscidal, and an antimicrobial. It's a healer a cleaner you cook with it and so on and so on . It's a gift from nature so wonderful.

[@DarleneYoungartist]

Thanks for making this video. I tried making a batch of apple cider vinegar with my own apples and it worked. It even grew a mother like yours only a little thinner. I'm making my second batch now. I don't have a country homestead like yours so I don't have so I won't go through my vinegar so fast. So I'll share it with friends.

[@yuugataame6088]

Waste not, want not. My man. Thank you for that.

[@chrisdwells35]

Digging the new style on the videos, I'd be interested in seeing more on how you use what your farm produces. Keep up the great work!

[@daddykirbs]

I do hope to do more of that... of course that mean I have to produce more! LOL

[@Ritademicorazon]

Thank you so much! a month ago I made my first batch of acv and now we have a mother to make the next batch :)

[@daddykirbs]

Yay! It worked!

[@NMW80]

what brand ACV did you use?

[@freakygeaktwo]

nice timing I've been checking out some video's the past two weeks on Kombucha and Vinegar but this is the first one that shows a mother or some call it a scoby, Thanks for sharing

[@daddykirbs]

+freakygeaktwo yes my kombucha SCOBYs are pretty impressive and prolific :)

[@freakygeaktwo]

sorry I should have asked right off the bat, can one use a cup of store apple cider vinegar along with apple cores and peels to get started ? or is the coby needed from the get go? I tried researching how scoby's originated but fail to know more then get a sample from a friend or purchase a starter..

[@daddykirbs]

freakygeaktwo You can start from ACV from the store if it is the raw organic stuff. The processed ACV is good for cleaning and all but lacks the live cultures.

[@americanmade1701]

OMG!!!! I got a mother!!!! I am so happy..better than braggs...thank you so much for your video's...and I didn't even have a snowman towel

[@daddykirbs]

You did it without a snowman towel!? I'm so impressed ;)

[@khalequrzaman6987]

wonderful way of vinegar making

[@bigmvb4840]

really enjoyed your video. Your laid back way of explaining things made it fun to watch

[@daddykirbs]

glad you liked it!

[@wildchookMaryP]

I am going to make a small batch to practice on. I use vinegar for cleaning too especially on the stove. Excellent product.

[@daddykirbs]

+wildchook (Mary) you'll love it!

[@isaiahhesslup8463]

Blake Kirby n

[@lucianfranetovic6267]

Awesome a man of many talents and a waste not want not family culture, thank so much for sharing, is it possible to share a link or information on how to start and culture the mother when your starting from scratch, another great useful video full of handy info. Thank again Regards Matt

[@daddykirbs]

Matt, I'm going to do a video about this in the next day or so. I didn't guess that was going to be the number one question in the comments! LOL

[@kosnich8032]

Lucian Franetovic , yes, good question, I also need to know how to maje ACV from scratch, God bless!

[@kosnich8032]

Daddykirbs Farm ,yes, I also need to know how to maje ACV from scratch, God bless!

[@rcor0net304]

I use Natural sugar with some, and I also use Honey instead of sugar. With the apples on my property (every 2-3 years) the vinegar turns out a beautiful red brown, and appears better than store bought apples but maybe stronger.

[@daddykirbs]

That is the best when you have your own apples to work with. So, do you notice a difference using honey instead of sugar?

[@rcor0net304]

Not much a difference with honey. Yes lucky to have apples growing. The produce store a few miles away had some HUGE apples that could not be natural. Some the size of cantalopes! I have to buy apples in off season, because mine are every 2-3 years. But I don't buy the big ones. My ACV I made fall of 16 was store bought. I hope this year the apples grow so I can do more than ACV. I need to get a dryer or build one.

[@daddykirbs]

R&R Cornett The next brand of ACV I want to see in the stores is "Cornett Natural Raw ACV" :)

[@marble091]

Yay I have a mother too, I knew it! I wasn't sure because it looked creepy and it's my first ACV batch 🤣🙌🏽 but I'm so glad I found your video for confirmation. 🌱💕

[@CrochetLisa]

I have been watching tons of videos on Apple cider vinegar. This is by far the best so far! thank you!

[@janethgadon2699]

thank you now I can make my own organic ACV .. I cannot find a organic ACV here in Kuwait....thanks God bless ..

[@Simplegroundlife]

Another on my bucket list, this process is much different than the one I had in mind. I think I will try this first. Thank you for sharing your wisdom.

[@daddykirbs]

+Simple Ground fill that bucket with apples, water and s bit of sugar and make it happen! Lol

[@CopperHueCollectionsChippewa]

You are the only person that I’ve seen who gives other uses for ACV, thank you. I thought it didn’t need to be refrigerated? I’m liking your sons hair cut and how the dog sat still for his bath 🙂

[@goingnatural4022]

You are so lucky to live on a farm - I have a question if you can answer it; I made two small batch of ACV in a jar, but one smells like Alcohol and it tastes bitter so I left it for 3 more weeks after adding some sugar but still smells like alcohol and tastes bitter. Do you have any idea why ..? the other jar tastes and smells like ACV. thanks

[@38kimpossible]

Wow that looks easy who knew! I love your kitchen btw.

[@daddykirbs]

I'm uploading a video right now to answer some basic questions to starting this from scratch. Thanks!

[@cherylcarter6426]

I now have one of those symbiotic cultures thank you for your more in depth video on this subject.

[@polkcellar]

Excellent! I'm glad to have found your site😊.Well spoken & edited. Your Kombucha video was enjoyable too!

[@lucianfranetovic6267]

AWESOME.THANK YOU. guess when you have a good thing going and you show us all people who are willing to take the steps to make there own goods instead of store brought products but have never done it before want to no how to start things of hahaha well thats the case for myself anyway. again thank you and your family so much for your time and effort you put in so others like myself can learn.

[@daddykirbs]

You are very welcome. :)

[@skinnydee1886]

You're a genius! This is the best video on making apple cider vinegar. By the way, that mother looks healthy and so good! Thank you and God bless.

[@mizsterious]

Great vid guys!! Funny when I went to my pantry this very morning I saw my vinegar bottle, and was wondering , yes really I was. . "How is that done"? and here you are with this great post on "HOW TO". Man . . so do you need a mother to make the vinegar? How/where do you get a mother? We use it for mouthwash, and we use allot of it here. The organic ACV is COSTLY at the grocery!!! GREAT SHARE!! Love all the family and animals involved. Most X-Celllent, and thank you and yours again, ENJOY each other! :)

[@daddykirbs]

+miz sterious haha, it's clear that I missed a very important point in this video... how to start without a mother! I'll have to make another video to answer that question :)

[@judibaine3976]

Now it all makes sense. I am not sure how my first batch will turn out but the next one will work. Thanks in part to your video. I used to make Kombucha back in the 90's.

[@terrywivey6596]

Another great video. Very informative and entertaining. Thanks for sharing.

[@daddykirbs]

+Terry W Ivey my pleasure! Glad you liked it.

Thanks! He will not leave me alone when he thinks it's time for a haircut!

[@chanlh3450]

Found your video by accident .. love your video..I learn lot of useful tips . Esp on using vinegar while bathing the dogs on as I have dogs at home , too.. and the reason why mold keep forming on the top surface of my homemade fruit enzyme. coincidentally , I have some old apples in my refrigerator. Would be making apple cider vinegar soon.... 💕Thanks for the video...

[@haitianrefugee8454]

Great video & thanks for the education.

[@daddykirbs]

My pleasure! Thanks for joining me :)

[@zoramae825]

Hi I just bottled my 2nd brew and am excited to see how it comes out. Thanks very much for your video. It really helped me to start my own kombucha❣I'm going to try apple cider vinegar next 😃

[@gedets.s.2827]

Thank you so much for doing this video. I live in the Caribbean and Its hard to find real ACV. I really want to do this. Question: how long can you store the mother and where? Thanks again!! btw, you are a really good teacher!

[@marshabalderrama8903]

Wow! so easy!. I love your farmhouse kitchen. Cheers!

[@daddykirbs]

+Marsha Balderrama the kitchen is a fun place to hang out. Thanks :)

[@squirefergus]

Wow I loved this video. I'm gonna watch it again!

[@daddykirbs]

+squirefergus I'm so glad you liked it. I wish you much success with your ACV.

[@agbonasikegbe]

Great, thanks for sharing your experience. Just curious about the jar to use, must it be a transparent jar? Thank you

[@couponville1]

Thank you for sharing. I enjoyed the video.

[@madeleinebaier3896]

wonderful! no more store-bought vinegar for me.

[@daddykirbs]

+Madeleine Baier it's too easy to make, and cheap too.

[@Akintioye]

YES BUT MAKE SURE YOU BUY ORGANIC ONE

[@debbiescott9507]

Nice video, 🇮🇱🇺🇸

Excellent video my friend, my compliments to the videographer as well, great job...thanks for sharing, I appreciate it...

[@Mary-had-a-lil-farm]

Good job Luke! On bathing the dog 👍

[@mahalsantillan9843]

Hi new subcriber here. I love this video and i like to make my home made acv. My question is up to how many months it will take to established a mother like yours? Lol

[@EHCBunny4real]

Did someone give you a starter scoby or can you create one using Bragg's apple cider vinegar

[@TC-cl7oi]

I will be making homemade vinegar from now on, awesome!

[@daddykirbs]

You can do it!

[@michaelmillardanyog3937]

I just clicked a random video at the recommended videos section. And I instantly like your channel!!!!

[@LindaPenney]

stunning thanks for sharing blessing to you all

[@daddykirbs]

+Linda Penney my pleasure. How many ways do you use ACV?

[@cakeonaplate]

beautiful home!

[@daddykirbs]

Thanks :)

[@dianeedwards7439]

Can you please tell me how you would get mother to start and grow? What are the steps?Can you use a scoby from kombucha?

[@monikas4656]

Thank you so much! .. nice video and explanation..can I use distilled water? or tap water?

[@patriciastpeter9788]

I processed my vinegar in 1 month daily pushing down apples to prevent mold. Strained and bottled then capped and put in pantry. A couple of months later pulled out a bottle and opened and major carbonation spewing out from cap. I had the same issue with every bottle and am not sure if the batch is bad? Help

[@Captaincasey31]

I am new to Making this, I don't have a large open mouth jar but I do have large plastic (cranberry jug) with small lid opening, its has been 5 weeks now, I used a starter "mother" from organic store bought apple cider.. I do not have a solid like you have in video. I put lid on every day to shake it so no mold or bacteria forms on top (what I have learned from other videos), I don't know if its the starter I smell or batch actually worked. Is it that important to have open wide mouth top to breath?.. (I place cap on top loose so no pressure forms). or do I have apple water wine?

[@daddykirbs]

It will go through an alcohol stage before vinegar. Breathing is important. Keep that cap loose. 5 weeks may not be long enough on your first batch. Keep an eye on it, I think you'll be ok.

[@mittelstein1661]

Thanks! Great Video! How do you start the first batch? do you sell any starter kits with mother, etc?

[@daddykirbs]

I do not sell any kits. There is a second ACV video that might answer some questions.

[@RosanaKarinaGarzon]

Hello Daddykirbs Farm, the vinegar mother and the scoby are the same..? Thank you in advance,

[@kellycarver2500]

I was planning on making pear WINE. Cored and cleaned about 3 bushels of them. Sliced them and put in a big stainless pot. Covered them in DISTILLED water. and put a dark cover over them. They're in a very warm room. Next day they smell like vinegar. I added some rose petals steeped in sweet potato water (was used to boil a sweet potato), allowed this to cool and put in with the pears. Also added a TBS honey and 40 grains of bee pollen for vitamins and minerals. Been stirring it 5 times a day, and it's a bit frothy on top but nothing major. Still smells like vinegar. LOL! Today is day four. I'm thinking I should be looking up ways to preserve foods using no refrigeration and VINEGAR. LOL.. Anybody ever ate any pickled pears? There is no mold, no rot, just vinegar smell. And lots of it.

[@abejucar1200]

good day sir,is it also advisable to use mineral water(un-boiled) how often do i have to stir my homemade ACV,thanks.

[@moonlitedaze5688]

So Glad to see this, thank you!!

[@johnbrinton3873]

I started a batch ACV without the mother & stirred it every couple of cays for about 2 weeks but then I got very busy & left home a few times, long story short,,,it was left in the jar for 2 months! Apples were sitting on the bottom, no mold so I poured off the liquid into another jar 2 days ago. Do you think the ACV is ok ? Does the ACV need a second ferment with a cloth or just cap the jar and store away?

[@LJolie-jz8go]

Thank you love your teachings

[@AmyQuillin]

Daddykirbs--do you have a video on the ingredients you use in your pantry/kitchen? I loved seeing all your items in your pantry at the end of this video-and would love to know more on what your go to staples are and where you source such awesome containers/jars. And which items you make from scratch ? (like the ACV). If you have a video like this already, can you tell me what's it's called?) Thank you for the info. You and your family inspire me greatly!

[@daddykirbs]

hmm, that would be an interesting bit to add into a video sometime. I guess I never figured anyone would care about what's in our pantry LOL ... The glass containers were mostly collected from yard / garage sales. Angie rarely buys full retail!

[@carolinawalz164]

Thank you so much for your videos, they are so informative and educational. I would like to know where can I buy the "Mother" to make apple cider vinegar? Thank you so much in advance.

[@davescorpion]

Could you use a Wine makers demijohn with an airlock to make ACV? the only problem would be removing the mother, what do you think?

[@emmdemeester6990]

Hey, awesome videos. Very informative. I have a couple questions. 1) You put the frozen apples in the microwave. Is this only to thaw them? I don't own a microwave nor do I wish to purchase one. Would it be okay to let them thaw on the counter/in the fridge or will this cause problems such as bad bacteria growth? 2) Is the mother or the SCOBY you use for the ACV the same SCOBY as you use to make kombucha? I am ordering some gallon jars in bulk, and grabbing a couple kombucha scobys off a girl I know to try brewing kombucha for the first time so if I could just use one of those for the ACV I think that would be better. I use ACV every day, but up until I found your channel today I didn't even realize it was something I could make at home. Very excited for more videos. Thanks!

[@daddykirbs]

Yes, thaw the apples in the fridge to allow for slow safe thawing. The SCOBY and MOTHER are same in concept but different. Many people ask if they are interchangeable. I'm not sure of the answer exactly. There are plans to conduct an experiment :)

[@nash4947]

Hi Blake! Thank you so much for your videos. I was wondering how do yo make the mother at the first place. As I am a starter in this area and I would love to find out how to start it. And another question can be sugar replaced by honey ? If in the process of making the mother requires the sugar can be it also replaced by honey ? or Dark brown sugar ? Thank you in advance for your answer!

[@daddykirbs]

I've never used honey in the fermented foods because I know that honey has some anti-bacterial properties that might slow down the process.... however, some people do it :)

[@nash4947]

Blake Kirby thank you so much for your prompt response😊 Do you mind letting me know how you make the mother ? I have seen your both videos but there they were already ready ones, so I am a bit lost and not sure how to start. Thank you once again for your time 😊

[@CengalLut]

Honey is anti-bacterial because it has so little water available to the bacteria and fungi. Honey is anti-bacterial the same way a rock is anti-bacterial, not like penicillin. If you mix a spoon of honey into a gallon of water, it gets diluted, then it's just like regular sugar with some added flavours.

[@nash4947]

Athran A. Rahman thank you so much for your response :)

[@jaderule6459]

Naz H I too want to know how he made the mother, I mean I think you just make acv like he has done here but when you have no mother you just put like heaps of braggs vinegar in the water,apples and sugar and it will eventually turn into a mother. Not just that brand but I have heard and read and it always works unless it's out of date of course.

[@TC-cl7oi]

Thanks for explaining so well...question; would you be able to use that scoby to make kombucha?

[@daddykirbs]

I don't know the answer to that question. I hope to do an experiment someday to prove that one way or the other :)

[@TC-cl7oi]

cool, I may do that soon. If I do I'll post it in the reply but since vinegar takes longer, not sure when that will be. thanks!

[@dekelchile]

I always learn something new with you. THNK U!! Aand usual thumb-up (y)

[@daddykirbs]

+Dekel Chile I'm so glad it's helpful :)

[@carolkang9745]

How did you get one ACV Scoby that is so thick? I've been making ACV for 1 year now and ended with multiple scobyS

[@daddykirbs]

The Mother of Vinegar just got thicker each time I transferred it to a new batch.

[@mrsgbee]

Awesaome, I just made some ACV with the peelings and cores of my apple harvest. It tastes much better than the store bought kind. Thank you so much for showing me how.

[@nesamosaku551]

Thanks for sharing. Is it ok to put refined sugar?

[@daddykirbs]

yes :)

[@ralsharp6013]

Fabo tutorial thanks. Love your mother. Our Jun Kombucha SCOBY is beautiful and white too.. Have you tried making fire cider vinegar from us apple cider vinegar?? So dang good and the pulp is great on burgers etc

[@jeannemiller306]

first time making his without the mother,,is it just the apples water sugar?

[@daddykirbs]

+jeanne miller yes. Cover it and gently stir it occasionally to discourage mold.

[@pswank68]

How much sugar for the first batch? and no yeast?

[@daddykirbs]

***** I did not add yeast. Sugar is a variable. There are sources that say no sugar and others that say lots of sugar. My fist batch was 2 cups of sugar in about 2 quarts total volume of water and apples. I'm making a video this evening to address these questions too.

[@martell203]

Great informative video! I do have one question though. I have a bottle of organic apple cider vinegar with the mother and I was wondering if I could make more vinegar by just taking some of the mother out, putting it in a jar with water and wait?

[@daddykirbs]

Plain water won't make vinegar. That mother needs the sugars from the fruit to grow and convert to vinegar.

[@martell203]

+Blake “Daddykirbs” Kirby Thank you! I'll put some sugar in a jar with the mother.

[@Who.Am.I_2day]

Hello, thanks for your nice video. Could you please tell me how I can understand if all the alcohol has turned into vinegar? How long should I keep it for fermentation until there's no alcohol left in it?

[@loribrooks202]

How long does it take to get the mother on there? After you strain it, Do you do a second ferment? Can you use a scoby from kombucha in your vinegar?

[@faithslanding5305]

Love your videos! making my second batch of ACV ... thanks to you... Can you make demented veggies with apple cider vinegar ?

[@daddykirbs]

Fermented? You can add some to your veggies, but they do not need the ACV to ferment.

[@faithslanding5305]

lol demented!!!!!! sorry... thank you

[@kellycarver2500]

Me too.lol...demented veggies! Love it!!

[@WorldsFirstACVGummy]

*I've been trying to include apple cider vinegar into my routine for ages, but the taste just made it so hard. Goli Gummies really were a game changer for me* 🍎

[@nikoseconomou3950]

I wonder if you can use the mother from wine vinegar for apple cider vinegar.Nice channel this is Nick from Greece!

[@DentistPai]

I made my first batch. I noticed it had some fruit flies in it. I covered it exactly like you said. How long does it take to make the mother so big. Mine came out very small almost like spots. when I strained it I could not find the mother. Please recommend what should I do. Thanks so much.

[@raypeace2841]

Can you make ACV using a kombucha mother SCOBY and vice versa? Why or why not? Thanks in advance.

[@yaseminarkun]

Hi there! Can I use kombucha mother to start an apple cider vinegar batch? thank you...

[@anngamula2602]

Hi Blake ☺ great posts thank you. so......we want to keep the jar dark/covered ? & also i was NOT aware of using ACV as a cleaner, i wanted it to use as a food. I love your chickens, i'd heard Tyson doesnt allow folks to have chickens in the U.S. (because common folk might screw up & contaminate ALL american chickens) Best Wishes to You & thanks again

[@daddykirbs]

Us normal people do sometimes mess up, but nothing like those large abnormal corporations that treat animals like commodities or a cruel science experiment. Yes keep the jar covered and out of direct light ;)

[@anngamula2602]

Blake Kirby ☺ Best Wishes to You Blake! I like your attitude! ☺☺☺ and your animals look very well loved & cared for. Blake it seems you are a credit to our species. Thank You & CARRY ON DEAR, CARRY ON! 😉 ☺☺☺☺☺

[@daddykirbs]

Thanks :)

[@mullz1382]

can you cut up the mother and add it to multiple jars for bigger batches ?

[@sebastianarielburd3119]

quick question, Can I use the mother scoby I made for my kombucha tea? since u are not showing or explaining how to make the mother scoby to keep the apples pieces below the water level, any suggestions please? I am sure many people below wonder the same question and i rather hear from you than getting many opinions from below people that makes me more confused. thanks

[@laughingjimone5495]

Do you thinkacv mother and kombucha scoby is essentially the same thing? I really think the first kombucha scoby was just a mother that was converted and changed over time. And on another note, i use acv to make honey switchel now and i love it!

[@daddykirbs]

I've heard of switchel, but know nothing about it. I'll have to look it up :)

[@laughingjimone5495]

it's apple cider vinegar mixed with either maple syrup or honey, and water. most recipes say ginger too but I haven't gotten any yet. It's a great idea to turn your over cultured kombucha or water kefir into switchel, or something similar. It's best to let it sit for a day once you put it together.

[@isaiahhesslup8463]

Nice video and lifestyle have you heard that microwaves kill the nutrients?

[@daddykirbs]

+Isaiah Hesslup I have heard that. Maybe someday we'll wean ourselves off of that modern comfort :)

[@anitahoward1281]

Can the 'mother' have a piece broken off it , like a kombucha scoby, if I was making a couple of batches?

[@rmj32]

Could i use apple scraps that have been used for the next batch.. or mixed it up with a new batch 😁

[@patriciahill50]

What is the best way to store my Surplus mother’s. I am using about six but have 5 mothers in a kilner jar in acv. I want to keep them heathy. So how long will they be happy. I try to rotate them. I can’t bring my self to throw them away and my friends don’t seem to want one. Offered them free on FB no takers. So my question is the best way to store them long term. I love your down to earth blogs and have deleted all others from my library.

[@LaReina203]

How long before a scoby develops? I have some apples in the jar for a month, no scoby

[@anngamula2602]

Hi Blake need to ask u : can i use my apple mother with other fruit? maybe pineapple, or banana? any ideas? and thanks again for ur vids, SO helpful!

[@daddykirbs]

+Ann Gamula I've never done it but others report that it works.

[@esteemsupplies9129]

How do you make the mother? I haven't seen that part

[@r.studio6170]

After squeezed 2nd fermentation start...should we use cloth again or lid to cover

[@K1F1L]

I'm currently making my very first batch of acv and was wondering how should I store the SCOBY mother if I managed to grow one? should I just store it in some of the vinegar from that batch? does it need sugar to feed on or something?

[@daddykirbs]

They will last a long time in a batch of ACV in the pantry.

[@patriciahill50]

Hi ... I have several questions I hope you can help me with ....no 1 what is the best way to store a surplus of scobys. No 2 I appear to have a ginger beer scoby what do I do with it. No I have a s boy in my malt vinegar what should I do with her .? Thanks you

[@LolitasGarden]

Nice sink!

[@daddykirbs]

We love our farm sink :)

[@alinaiacobescu8717]

Hey there, I started my very first batch about 3 weeks ago. I didn't have a mother, so I added some organic apple vinegar. 2 days ago, the apples that have been floating have sunken to the bottom of the jar. all of them. Not sure if this is a good/bad sign. Also, not sure if I should add sugar throughout the process or not. I really wanna get this right, so I appreciate every piece of advise. Thank you!

[@daddykirbs]

Sinking is not bad. Only add sugar one time at the beginning. I bet you are on the right track.

[@markw2521]

what is the purpose and/or benefit of using apple cider vinegar rinse on the animals, especially on the dogs?

[@daddykirbs]

+Mark W we add it to drinking water to help with gut health. We condition skin and hair with it diluted. Not sure of scientific details lol, but it seems to leave it looking and feeling nicer.

[@cherylcarter6426]

Thank you so much for this. I think you said that I don't have to use sugar if I have a mother. Does it make any difference or speed it up if I add a couple of spoons? Is there an exact amount?

[@shirleysparks1148]

Have you ever had a batch get "vinegar eels" ? And if so is there a way to prevent this ? Thank you for your videos and any information !

[@daddykirbs]

I've never had them, but I've heard that keeping your batch in a clean environment with proper temperatures helps to prevent them.

[@shirleysparks1148]

Thank you for the information ! I'm gonna give AVC a try and I'm somewhat a germaphobe so we'll see :)

[@daddykirbs]

good germs ;)

[@shirleysparks1148]

Good germs fine worms in my ACV even though harless not so good lol

[@MichaelLamberson]

Does making homemade ACV stink up the house? I'm thinking about to make my own for hair rinse!! and more.

[@daddykirbs]

No it doesn't stink the house up. Your pantry might have a slight smell at different stages but nothing terrible.

[@r.studio6170]

How can it used for after hair wash.. water ratio

[@duramax78]

Sir I have a question once I drain the apples I have the mother I put in my mason jar, with just the juice, do I seal it for the next month or does it need to breath.?
