The (brief) instructions I was following made no mention of anything alcholic/fermented--aside from using a raw ACV with a mother. We've had bottles of Bragg's get quite a little patty at the bottom, though I think it wasn't quite so thick in the bottle I used. I saved the bottom few inches of our last bottle of Bragg's ACV because it had such a thick mother patty in there. That is what I'll use for trial two, I think.

We press our own cider and so I thought, why not? I've got enough to experiment with. But, it must have been too sweet because even months and months and months later its still not tangy enough. I kept it in the dark, open, but covered with cheese cloth. I was even following directions from a book! Still, no vinegar. Oh well, not all experiments are destined to be triumphs, I guess.BLD in MThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06449967376288331137noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3691741652741267481.post-9120070790952709052015-10-26T23:15:08.267-04:002015-10-26T23:15:08.267-04:00well then, how about that...... well then, how about that...... elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00962587884124992942noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3691741652741267481.post-23966821361751892892015-10-26T21:43:59.352-04:002015-10-26T21:43:59.352-04:00Very interesting, Lisa!
