Making Red Wine Vinegar - CRAFT Video Podcast

[PMarieReinhold]

I started my vinegar about 6 weeks ago. I am using a ceramic container. When I looked inside there is a bit of white mold growing on one side. It also has a sour smell and not the smell of vinegar. Does this mean it has gone bad? What could have I done to avoid this? Can the mother be saved?

[flubno]

do you have to pasturize it ?

[bdbrecheen]

Yours is the only site where I have seen instructions to boil the liquid. Is that a necessary step? Also, do you not add any additional wine to the jar over a period of time to increase the amount? I have read that you need to continually add wine over a period of a few weeks. I want to make sure I get this right. Thanks!

Can I use a mother from apple cider vinegar for red wine?

[johnokeefenostress]

how to you make more volume like 5 gallons of red wine vinegar

[BowlingFreak218]

i have 2 40 liter jugs of red whine vinegar that have been fermenting for 75 years.

im going to sell them both to a private buyer for 2000 dollars

[bluecollarboiler]

alcohol boils at 170 DEGF, water boils at 212, but other fluids boil at cooler temperatures

My brother was making red wine , when he thought it was done and asked me to try it pouring me a glass, I smelled it and I said this smells like vinegar, turns out he let it go too long and it turned into red wine vinegar. Just fantastic though . Unbelievable flavor.

[helehole]

haha what happens if i drink the mother XD

[aznttboy]

Will $2 red wines make decent quality red wine vinegar? I am planning to experiment with this and was told that Merlots, and Cabernet Sauvignon (especially if they are young) can be transformed into good red wine vinegar.

Also how much wine is consumed or lost during the process? I assume that if I start out with 1 gal of red wine, I am not going to end up with 1 gal of vinegar.

[Zatoichi444]

@aznttboy Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon are the best to use....because they have a higher alcohol content. about 12-14%. the stronger the alcohol, the better the vinegar. buy a glass jug at Target a BIG one with a spigot at the bottom. Leave a little wine at the bottom of a bottle uncovered until you smell that it has changed to vinegar. put it in the BIG glass jug and slowly add wine to it. It will take a few months at first. but after that, just keep adding wine..you won't lose any wine.

in my case we (my father and me) make vinegar with a wine that tastes bad a little to vinegar, we left the bottle an.. in some time turns into vinegar.. so.. with that bottle make vinegar just a little of the mother in a 5litre bottle ( sorry for my bad english)

[Chikov2]

Next tutorial should be how to make vinegar mother, in case I left it in my other coat when I want to make vinegar

[M0LONLABE]

Can you use a vinegar that is already produced commercially as the starter instead of the mother vinegar?

[makemagazine]

No, as it's already been pasteurized to kill the live culture.

[M0LONLABE]

Rats, was hoping to use what's in my pantry to start my own. Guess it's off to the local brew supplier for me. Thanks for the response and the video.

[plaztikjezuz]

@makemagazine bragg's organic apple cider vinegar has good mother in the bottle.

[timidgothica]

[Gkitty311]

how creative! xD

[aznttboy]

if you want the 1-dimensional store bought vinegar that would be the best way to go :)

or the aged Balsamic Vinegar, which will definitely be much too hard to try and produce at home even for the die hard DIYers.

[baguk21]
