those are half gallon jars right?

Yes, correct 💯😁

[@AdamGriswold]

Made your apple cider vinegar, I have waited the three months but now my jars are only 2/3 rds full. Should I have sealed them or just add water?

[@HeartwayFarms]

Just strain them and keep them to use now. Don't add any water. Great job 👍

[@HeartwayFarms]

Here is the update video on the ... What to do now :) kzbin.info/www/bejne/eX7LgINnhrGZg7Msi=tofdq59cdxGs_fbk

[@suzisaintjames]

I've been experimenting with adding "mother" to store bought regular ACV without mother and it works pretty well. I take 3/4 jar of ACV with mother and add 1/4 jar regular. Pretty soon a mother appears. I take out 1/4 for my daily use and add 1/4 regular. Every few months l add a skin from an organic apple to feed it. And repeat. My mother continues to grow and my regular ACV now has a mother. 💖🌞🌵😷

[@Mindy56743]

I have used the mother to start the fermenting process when I make Vinegar myself. If I add a bit of the vinegar with the mother to a new batch it helps it to speed up and I have less problems making it.

[@weRweekendwarriors]

What is the mother?

[@suzisaintjames]

@@weRweekendwarriors , to make apple cider vinegar (ACV) you take chunks of apple skin, cores (some people even used bruised chunks of apple flesh) some water and let it ferment. Fermentation is caused by good bacteria (common folk call it the mother) which comes together in a white jelly kinda disk (called a scoby). After it's become ACV, some commercial bottlers distill the vinegar (the cheap ACV) and others just filter it (more expensive because it's healthy) and label it "with mother". Mostly it's clear, sometimes you might see a brownish settlement on the bottom of the bottle, that's the mother. If you pour this into a widemouth jar and put a lid on it (finger tight) and set it in the back of your pantry for a couple of months you'll find a white scoby. Some people always use a scoby to start a new batch, but it's not necessary. Just like sourdough starter... you can make a sourdough starter from scratch (there's enough good bacteria in the wheat and in the air), but it's way easier if you get some from a friend (and more fun). If you see other colors (green or black or pink) of stuff floating in your ACV throw it out. The bad bacteria has over run your batch. (I said to put it in a wide mouth jar because it's easier to see and poke at the scoby than when it's in a narrow necked bottle. And it's easier to feed it chunks of apple once in a while. Sending lots of love 💖 from sunny 🌞 Arizona 🌵. Take care of yourselves 😷.

[@growmegarden]

@@weRweekendwarriors it is the bacteria/yeast that sometimes develops during the fermentation process-it’s what gives some ACV a cloudy appearance. the Mother it is the healthiest part of the vinegar ❤

[@Smith_1984]

Apple and water . That's it. You don't have to add sugar or honey. The simplest way. Tried it and worked perfect.

[@davidpaylor5666]

I used to know a chap who worked on a farm that has been growing cider apples and making cider in Somerset, England (actually within sight of Glastonbury Tor) for nearly a thousand years and I asked him how they make vinegar. They use the ancient technique of leaving the lid off the barrel for a week or two after it's finished fermenting.

I used a food 5g bucket to make apple scrap vinegar last year and worked great! When it fermented and acidified to the level I wanted, I strained out the scraps and jarred it up. I especially like using in my laundry, but it’s good for all sorts of things.

[@DoubleQz]

Thanks for sharing I recently bought a few 5lb food grade buckets and half A bushel of apples. I'm making apple jelly from scrapes but used cores and left over scrapes to ferment 3 pints for apple cider vinegar.

[@1MSally1965]

You use apple scraps, water and sugar like on here but you add a cup of apple cider. I also give mine a shot of Braggs apple cider vinegar and that kick-starts it. You can add about 2T of any homemade vinegar and that will jump start your next batch. It’s super easy. Ferments in about 30 days!

[@starrlight4119]

Thanks so much !!!! Will try that next time! ❤

[@johnwright6706]

I imagine if you use apple cider as the feed instead of sugar water, you would have acv.

[@prideprejudice9825]

​@1MSally1965 DON'T use Braggs because they use apples that have the APEEL on them. That causes cancer. It's a coating that they spray on the apples, and no matter how much you scrub or try to wash off, the chemical from APEEL DOESN'T come off. Please STAY AWAY from BRAGGS, & ANYTHING that has a APEEL label on it!

I'm not sure about the keto sugars. The sugars do get eaten up and processed during the fermentation so there's not much if any left when it comes to vinegar.

It will keep indefinitely due to the low pH. Keep covered to prevent bugs and dirt. After several years it might taste "stale" .. but honestly it'll be gone long before then in a proper kitchen.

I made this last fall using a similar recipe and it worked great ! However all the research I did said that unless you pasteurize it you would have to keep it in the fridge . What is your experience with this ? It sounds like you just keep it in a cool dark place in a covered jar- does it ever “go bad”? I wouldn’t think as it is acidic .

[@HeartwayFarms]

@@Iamtheartists we have never pasteurized it and we have never stored it in the fridge. We've never had any issue with it as it is fairly acidic. We understand that there is different thought process on this and that people do not consider it to be true apple cider vinegar. This is true, however, we use it quite similarly to apple cider vinegar. The only thing we don't do with it is use it for canning because you do want the proper acidity for that. We use it for our hair, our skin, baking, and other things of that nature.

"maybe I was suppose to let it sit first", I went back and rewatched this vid and realized I was wrong.. I put it back in the jar and it is not doing anything.. have I destroyed it by introducing oxygen into it? can I revive it with a spoon of sugar? what should I do. Thank you so much, God bless your family.

Hey! Thank you for reaching out. Honestly, it's kind of tough to determine the status of your vinegar without seeing it in person. But after hearing about where you are at in the process we think you should first give it a taste and see if it tastes like vinegar. If it already tastes like a weak vinegar, go ahead and put it back in the jar and let it ferment for a bit longer. Our vinegar is still sitting in jars with the fruit (with a breathable top, and have developed a mother, or scody, on top. I'm going to taste and strain them soon. You can introduce sugar/fruit again if all else fails to try and start up again. Hope this helps.

Fun fact: 4 Tablespoons equals 1/4 cup. So change your recipe and save your wrist. Sending lots of love 💖 from sunny 🌞 Arizona 🌵. Take care of yourselves 😷.

Maybe try using a different cloth that has a tighter weave to it. 👉 FREE Canning PDF Download and Resources: canning.heartwaymembers.com/home 🚨 We've created a FREE online community for our subscribers where you can interact with fellow subscribers + get access to bonus content & special promotions before the general public. heartwaymembers.com/

@@HeartwayFarms great suggestion!!

[@missmaria165]

A rubber band and coffee filter works well. Just tuck the filter so no puckers. It's slick! 😊

[@gnarly706]

Can that vinegar be used for pickling?

[@tubejim101]

Does it bubble, then stop bubbling when its done?

[@kkoeshall9136]

Isn't a weight needed to keep it all submerged in order to avoid mold? I'm only asking because I want to make it but I've watched various videos and everybody seems to do it a little bit differently. I just don't want to waste time and resources only to end up with a moldy mess.

Shouldn't get mould if pushed down everyday. Muslin Cloth over Jar. I use rubber bands to keep mine on. I just finished making mine. From apples in garden though. Chopped them up put them in clean jars. I checked mine for tree weeks daily pushed them down. After 3 months it looks delicious. Put mine in bottles now. 💯👍

[@shirleysparks1148]

I was always told this is apple scrap vinegar . For it to be cider vinegar, you have to start with apple cider. Both are good, though.

[@joseyjogirl]

Can I use cheesecloth?

[@HeartwayFarms]

We wouldn't, we have found that a very tight knit cloth is needed so that any tiny bugs/flies can get in.

[@jackieblack4422]

I'm going to make a small jar for the knats or fruit flies

[@cariocajin]

Doesn't the water evaporate in the course of 3-4 months ? If it does, do you add more water to the jars ? Thanks !

How long is it shelf stable?
