How do I get the first scooby? Can I use store bought apple cider vinegar? I have organic braag. At bottom it has very cloudy particles. Thanks for your advice of how to get the first one.

[@kathysil2000]

Wow... This is amazing. I will try making it.

[@sp10sn]

If "masterclass" means watch a lady chop some apples into water while prattling about the great and secret things she knows about then this is a masterclass. Where does the first scoby come from? How is the decanting done? What can go wrong and how do you handle the unexpected? Good grief. Thumbs way, way down.

[@pienke_1232]

Thank you for sharing good video!Question:just made my first second ferment 3 days ago and there is something white growing on top of one of the jars . Is it normal ?It smells okey and I cant find any video mentioning this. first 2 days I had the lit on, very lightly and yesterday I did replace it with ferment lits. Not sure if its normal

[@robertfoertsch]

Excellent, Sharing Through The TRUTH Network...

[@manobii]

Could I use a wine vinegar mother to start a new batch of apple cider vinegar?

[@laylay2003]

She looks like a mix with princess Diana and Martha Stewart

[@ruthmaxwell60]

I first saw this lady with Stephen and David of ‘The Happy Pear’ and have admired her easygoing, professional approach ever since. I got two SCOBYs from my first batch of ACV after following April’s method and they are still alive and working away beautifully, thank you soooo much. 🐢

[@morokiya55]

Hi. How do you get the first one? I have store bought apple cider vinegar from bregg. At bottom it has the tick cloudy particles. Is this a mother?

[@helenhilman]

I have been making Apple Cider Vinegar for a few years now. About 2 weeks ago I started 4 gallon jars and 4 half gallon jars of apples and apple cores. Added sugar and water to everything as I usually do. All but 2 are looking great. However, 2 of my gallon jars have turned to a cloudy “milky” white. This harkened about 3 days ago ( about 1 1/2 weeks in). What would cause this? Will it still be good? All the others are cloudy but you can see through them. I’m getting ready to strain apples off Sunday. I would be happy to share a picture with you if that helps. Any ideas would be helpful.

[@Wonka_Tonka]

So simple - why bother buying it

[@jofarley7294]

Where can I get the acv scoby

[@robinr.770]

So timely. The last five days I have researched ACV, the benefits, the production process, chemical aspects, a flood of information. I am curious, inspired and well armed to set forth on my journey. Thank you for sharing this. Blessings.

[@PAMOJA4LIFE]

The vinegar I have access to has the mother but no Scooby, can I still use this method?

[@ilovecookingireland]

yes the scoby and mother are the same thing :)

[@SteadfastFarm]

I really love her videos and the simpleness of it all. Sometimes fermenting instructions can be so overbearing. Question: where do you store all these ferments without cross contamination?

[@fatmayca]

Hi. What about some salt? I put some. Is it wrong? thanks

[@yes0r787]

Better not to use salt it is a preservative.

[@ivycarp132]

Making some tomorrow thank you this was the video I’ve been looking for! I also do acv at night. Cheers! My go to acv nighttime tea recipe: Hot water Chamomile tea or fav tea A scoop of vital proteins collagen A tbsp of acv Stevia or honey And sprinkle of Ceylon in cinnamon

[@alikiavramidou2156]

Where can one get scoby??

[@rachelgarst8237]

So a week in I noticed white and green spots of mold beginning to form on top of apples on the surface. Should I scoop it out and salvage what I can beneath or just toss and start over in a clean jar?

[@fanfun-kitchen4495]

I want to make this but I don’t have a scoby. I always use braggs appelcider can Use that?

[@yougkuan9198]

Again amazing information from this knowledgable lady. Much thanks for the upload ^_^

[@raissaferreira1101]

I love your channel, discovered it by the sourdough recipes it's a shame you haven't published more of them. Nowdays I also enjoy watching other stuff from you, please keep up with the fermenting series, they are very cool and educational. Greetings from Brazil.

[@DanaTock]

April, you are a very inspirational person. Thank you for this and all the videos of yours that I've enjoyed and gleaned from.

[@vickipate3196]

How does one begin Where does one find a scoby for the very first time?

[@ilovecookingireland]

April actually sells them www.aprildanann.com/vinegars-syrups-seasonings

[@vickipate3196]

ilovecookingireland But she does not ship to the USA. I filled my cart only to discover that on checkout 😢

[@ilovecookingireland]

@@vickipate3196 Maybe try a local farmer's market, if you have one near you, or have a look on Amazon, there are a few sellers there :) www.amazon.com/Organic-Apple-Vinegar-Mother-Culture/dp/B07N3248J8 www.amazon.com/Choose-THREE-Kombucha-Vinegar-Mother/dp/B07RGMZBX7/ref=sr_1_19?keywords=apple+cider+vinegar+scoby&qid=1568666504&sr=8-19

@@ilovecookingireland From west cork myself but living in the US in ohio right now. Makes me miss home that even more that I cannot just pick up one of Aprils amazing looking "Scoby". ACV super new to me, using for digestion issues.1) I was just wondering when looking at other recipes I note that they do not add any scoby, they simple let the scoby grow from just apples and sugar and water. Could you clarify if I need a scoby ? if so can you get one from a apple cider purchased in a store like bragg that has the " mother " .? and lastly if I was to add the scoby like April did , after the 3 months or so should I keep the scoby for the next batch or is a new one required ? Thanks for your help if you can. Only came across " I love cookingireland today for the first time. Been over here about 1 year. 25 year old cork fella, never found myself baking or cooking before, but with extra time on my hands and my missing of home have taken up baking and cooking for the first time and your page looks beyond class. Came across A patrick ryan sourgough recipe , I look forward to stalking your page for things like this and pat ryan recipes.Will be the recipe book and base for my new found love and challenge . Thanks from Ohio.

[@morokiya55]

After it's ready, what next? How do you filter?

[@danielheltberg6202]

By weekish do you mean that it lasts for a week

*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* 🍎
