I have made this and peach and pear vinegar. I like to pour a couple tablespoons in my water to help with muscle cramps. I also add this to hot water with honey and cinnamon for congestion. I have never had a vinegar pie....... :)
Looks great! Most ACV has an acidity level of 5 % which equates to a pH of 2 or 3. I could not get mine more than a ph of 3.4. Therefore I will not be using it for much canning. Was still an interesting process.
could you refill the glass jars with the scraps and the mother with more water and make a new batch?? Curious because I started my apple scrap vinegar too so when I go to drain it I would love to just refill with fresh water to have a new batch started.
You can add the mother to a new batch. However, you will need to add new scraps to it with new water so you have the new sugars from the new scraps to start a new batch.
I did pineapple scrap vinegar and I didn’t get any mother either. My first one was amazing and the second molded an$ had to be trashed and the third worked but wasn’t as strong as the first. I want to make apples cap too. Looks amazing. It is amazing in salad dressings.
I have three gallon acv which I add to my chickens water. I make kefir also and daily during the cold months I put some in my chickens feed almost daily. Have you tried making cream cheese from your kefir yet? I made some this weekend and added homemade everything bagel mix😋delicious. Especially on my English muffins along with egg salad. Almost every is from my homestead 😊
I wouldnt add anything to the chickens water. All animals need fresh water daily without anything added to it for health. You could put the acv in a separate bowl but fresh water without anything at all is crucial.
I watched your video back in early September (I think?) when you were putting apples in a jar with raisins and sugar for fermenting. I did pears and apples. This is the first time I've ever done this. Have you done a follow up video on those apples? Did I miss it? I'm hoping I can use them for kombucha. Thank you for all of your hard work when filming your videos.
I just started a jar. But since I only eat 1-2 apples at a time I put in a half jar of water and sugar. I am adding the scraps as I eat them. We shal see how it works.😊
Anne - or anyone else that knows - I have a question!! Some lacto-fermented recipes call for a "started culture": the liquid from an existing ferment: can I use this "Apple Scrap Vinegar" as a starter?
what appears to be the mother on my apple scrap vinegar has a pink or redish color to it. has that ever happened to you? i'm trying to figure out if its ok...
I let my Apple scrap vinegar sit with a fermentation lid for 3 months. It never developed a scobby? I tested the PH & tasted it. It was definitely vinegar! However when I put it in my air-tight bottle, the bottle exploded a few days later. What did I do wrong? This is my second time trying. The 1/2 gallon jar with a plastic mason lid, just leaked & didn’t explode.
The fermentation process had not completed and so it created gas. The vinegar needs oxygen for the bacteria to work and by using the fermenting lid, you have excluded the oxygen and therefore the lacto bacillus bacteria would be the most prevelent. Vinegar is made from Acetobacter bacteria which requires the oxygen. pH could be good (apples are high acid) and taste could be close, but if it had not eaten all the sugar, it would continue to ferment and when it got the oxygen, it went nuts. This will be magnified if kept in a warm place. The lids are basically "bottling" the gas and so it blew the jar as it had no where else to go. I would suggest that you do not use the fermenting lid and see what happens for you. Just my thoughts.

That vinegar is gorgeous! I can't wait for mine to be ready. 😊
I have never gotten a scoby with apple scraps, but I have not let it sit this long. So, next time I’ll try it. Thanks.

Thank you soooo much for this video. I made it right after I saw your video and have been wondering about the rest of the process. 😀👍🏻
Love it!! Looks so pretty! And very much like bone broth, once it's strained 😆
Thank you Annie, mine i made looks just like yours ❤ i feel so amazed and blessed apple cider vinegar amen ❤
Wonderful!

You can add the mother to a new batch. However, you will need to add new scraps to it with new water so you have the new sugars from the new scraps to start a new batch.
I'd add 1/4 cup of sugar too so the story has sugars to digest to create the vinegar.

Can you share your tea recipe? Sounds great.
I made blueberry vinegar and ACV! My very first batch of ACV was the best! But I’ve not had the same results since!
I have three gallon acv which I add to my chickens water. I make kefir also and daily during the cold months I put some in my chickens feed almost daily.

Sounds like apple brandy which takes longer to ferment. I made some this year too.
i'm going to try this!

Love to see to make at home .How many Seasons you have? Which you like ?
My apple cider vinegar got moldy on top! Does that mean that I have to dump the whole thing? What did I do wrong?
Thank you for share, how can I keep it? In the fridge?
Can you use the homemade apple scraps vinegar in fire cider?
How long does it take to actually male the vinegar? I want to try to make some. After its done do you store it in an airtight container?
Do you make your napkins if so will you be putting them for sale

Do you use cores?
In their first video they used cores! You can use any and all parts of the apple--stems, seeds, skin, etc.

@@laureengetskow6579 no worries.
@@HeartwayFarms No worries.

Well since I know cider is necessary for acv. Scrap vinegar is NOT THE SAME
