  • great information, thanks! But i have a question tho. What if you have no vinegar at start ? what do you use to get a mother vinegar to start ?

    Peace

  • @markeii Oh, you don't need vinegar. I added that bit of refinement over the years but it is not necessary at all to get those greedly little vinegar flies to leave the bacteria you want. You see the yeast on the banana turns some of the sugar to alcohol which attracts the flies with acid bactar which turns the alcohol to vinegar.

  • i noticed you put some vinegar to start it off. what would happen if you did not put the vinegar to start it off? would you still get the mother?

  • @healthjunkie1 On my website -- which is being update to another site -- I say the vinegar is just for aroma, to attract the flies. A teaspoon is fine. You will still get a mother.

  • @EatTheWeeds Would it be worth trying to catch them with some parsnips wine from last year instead? Might be interesting... It smells sweet, and has alcohol in it?

  • @jordanartuso at it's very chemical basics vinegar = beer which hasn't been kept sterile during fermentation.

    Beer is brewed with an air-trap which keeps it from turning to vinegar.

  • @dramey03 Hmmmm... perhaps more non-tast than non edible.

  • @EatTheWeeds

    thats a great reply

    does that mean that if you use the sample too early, before the "mother" dominates that colony, will it be possibly non edible?

  • ive been wondering how to make vinegar for months, but i never remember to youtube it, and i randomly came across this, awesome video

    never want to use vinegar again lol but awesome video

    so theres no other source of this bacteria from anything non dead insect involved"

  • @EatTheWeeds good point! good channel!
