How To Make REAL Apple CIDER Vinegar
Вставка
- Опубліковано 28 сер 2018
- How To Make Real Apple Cider Vinegar - Yeah there are lots of youtube videos about making ACV, but most of them are... not great, or maybe just plain wrong. The apple cider vinegar that the 'one step' recipes make just tastes bad...
The problem with most (if not all) How to make raw unpasturised vinegar recipe tutorials on UA-cam is that they miss the point that the bacteria that makes vinegar needs alcohol, oxygen, and a relatively sugar free environment.
But the yeast that makes the alcohol needs a high sugar low oxygen environment...
So you first have to allow the yeast to ferment the sugar into alcohol with an airlock so that an anaerobic environment can form. Once the yeast has converted the sugar to alcohol (3-7 days) you can add the vinegar mother (bacteria) and start the aerobic conversion of alcohol to acetic acid.
The method everyone else shows you - makes 'vinegar' but a very low quality apple cider vinegar that doesn't taste as good as it should. Nor will it have the good qualities that everyone is looking for.
This is a method that you could use to make any - ANY - fruit based vinegar. You could sub in pineapple, orange, peach, grape, grapefruit, etc, etc… You could even use fruit scraps left over from other baking or cooking projects. It's simple if you do it right - you get the idea.
You are making it at home - why not make the best raw unpasturised apple cider vinegar that you can?
For more information look up: U.S. Dept of Agriculture Farmers Bulletin #1424 (from 1924) "Making Vinegar in the Home and on the Farm" for a full explanation of how to make ACV.

Glen & Friends Cooking could you use a balloon as the stopper?
@@donnabullock5761 An airlock costs about $2....but yes you can.
Have to add any sugar inside sir?
Glen & Friends Cooking -Remove those SEEDS first.
Whatif I mix apple juice with apple cider vinegar. Would all the apple juice would be turned into vineger eventually “
I am so happy I found this video! This is much more what I was thinking than so many of the other videos. Especially that this starts with pure apple, and having more control over the ferment. Awesome.
This is by far the best how to make vinegar I have seen and I am keeping it for future reference, now to get to it👍😀
Thank you for the clear, knowledgeable, and simple instructions. I thought the process would be more complicated. I have tried this and it works!
Greetings from New Zealand 🇳🇿
Thank you for explaining it so well.... just on a side note, you have a very nice voice.. feel free not to use music in the background👌
glad somebody said it
I understand the impulse to try a "bed"/background music for a more pro polish, but I also prefer without music. It's more relaxing.
@@swanofnutella4734 2nd that
I totally agree. the music in the background was almost enough to make me find some other video. I only stayed because I was in desperate need of correct info.
I agree. But I understand why he uses it. I'd leave it very very subtle, even more. Because it is some sort of distracting when you are conscious of it, but really ambiental and focusing when its not. I think some kind of videos need a subtle curtain or background.
So good to see a video on this that understands the 2 steps.
Just tasted and strained my batch. Best I ever made and thanks for the insight.
I love your explanation of how Vinegar making works! I remember in another video you mentioned the term "Vinegar" means "Sour Wine". This makes sense with your process. I will do this over anyone else's, especially where this process significantly reduces the risk of mold.
I'm so glad someone recommended this video to me! Thank you for the clear instructions
Can you make one about white vinegar as well?
Thank you so much absolutely best video on how to make ACV. Very detailed and informative i fully understand the process now.
Thank you very much for passing on your knowledge. After experiencing your detailed presentation, I feel well informed and confident that I can make my own ACV. I also want to commend you for answering so many questions in the comment section (even when they are from rude people). I'm going to check out more of your videos.
Thanks - As soon as I saw the juicer I knew this was a different approach. Only have to buy a couple of bits & I'll be ready.
Thank you. Just watched a few videos for making ACV and was shocked to see them add sugar... even the raw cane sugar... but after 3 videos doing the same I thought I was wrong to be surprised. Glad I decided to watch one more. Yours. Now I will be checking out the pineapple one you mentioned.
why do you think it's wrong. the bacteria will consume it and you practically have no sugar left. they add it because it takes less time to start fermenting
I followed this recipe and made my own batch. It came out perfect. Thanks
If it's sweet and yella, you got juice there fella.
If it's tangy and brown, you're in cider town
Homer's brain has left the chat...
Ro bery now there are two exceptions to this
@@richcreamerybutter6640 2 busy eatin dooohnuts in the control room @ the nuclear plant
kind of a riddle
Of course in Canada the whole thing's flip-flopped.
Fantastic tutorial. I cant wait to try this myself.
My wife and I have made beer and wine for years this seams right up our alley thanks for the info.
We've make beer as well! Over on our homebrew channel - LeGourmetTV Brewhouse. In the coming weeks we'll have a video here where we turn beer into vinegar as well.
Cool would that be malt vinegar?
Technically -no- but a super close cousin. Because it has hops it's just beer vinegar; if you fermented the sweet wort without adding hops, and turned that into vinegar you'd have Malt Vinegar. Minor difference but it makes a huge flavour change.
Thank you! I've been watching several vinegar making videos on YT and even though I've never made vinegar, I have brewed beer, wine and mead and every video I watch doesn't make sense based on what I already know. Thanks for practical, straightforward guide to vinegar making. Subscribed.
Great recipe! Made several times but old old fashioned style - chopped and blended, loads of pulp stirring weekly! Then straining out 5+ pounds of pulp! Great family fun LOL! I really like your juicer method, gonna be working it in the near future - many thanks again!
We made it for years the way you describe - works very well.
I don't have an airlock. But I do own those rubber tops with the nipple. Would that work as well. I'd like to see an explanation on how to do in a blender or food processor as well if you have a link I'm not sure.
Thank you, you clear up all my doubts about apple cider vinegar process. Very useful video, congratulations
At last, I found one video of ACV, that make sense.
Thank You, very much.
You are welcome! Come on back and let us know how it turns out.

Learn something new every day! Glad you put the kabosh on the music, you don't need that distraction.
Thanks for clarifying the correct method. I suspected something was wrong with the other methods. My homemade vinegar was always so weak.
Great video man...i just started making ACV this week. Thanks for sharing your know how!
So refreshing to watch someone teach that actually knows something. Too many clowns on youtube spreading misinformation. Thank you sir.
Yours was the first Video i came across. I watched it all the way and thought great explanation clear and concise. Then i went and watched a few more videos and basically switched off straightaway. Came back to your video and subscribed. Thank you so much for your post. I will be following your method for real. Thumbs up!
Hi Glen! Thanks for the great video, just wondering if it's possible to avoid the airlock tool you used, so only closing up the container with a lid.
Your expaination is very well said. I've been making Wine, red wine vinegar and Hard apple cider and apple cider vinegar for many years. At first I added yeast and now only let the indigenous yeast do It's thing. I believe the much longer fermentation that natural yeast takes develops ( 2-4 months for cider) significantly more flavor. After the apple juice is fermented I add my live cider vinegar and 2 months later I have apple cider vinegar. . Also my active wine vinegar was also naturally made by a barrel of wine left untouched for 15 years, It does not develop the dreaded Cellulose mat that almost all live vinegar will produce. This was also used to make my first Apple cider vinegar.
At last someone who knows the proper way! I don't like following amateurs who sort of half-know what they're doing. Thank you so much and I'm a subscriber now, of course!
This is really well done with lots of explanations. Thank you.
Hi Glen, Montrealer living in Beijing. Love your videos. I just made an apple cider vinegar the wrong way, I am going to try your waynext , it seems so much more logical. Been making green and red tea Kambucha for many years. Thanks for sharing this, appreciate it.
This is the best video I’ve ever seen ! Smdh they literally tell you to put sliced apples into water and u have magic ! This is the best demonstration ever, and it makes perfect sense
Awesome as usual Glen. If you were making another, how does the mother fit into the next cycle?
Thank you! Answered so many unanswered questions!
You make it look very simple! I'm going to try
Thank you for making things so simple.
Thank you for providing so much detail 😊
Hey! I found you through your squeaky cheese curds video years ago, and found you again when looking how to make vinegar. (The curds were awesome. I made poutine for some family and everyone loved it)
I am so thrilled that I came across your channel.
This was amazingly interesting! Looks difficult/complicated but would love to try someday!
It does really look complicated. But worth trying
It does really look complicated. But worth trying
I discovered the mother in my bottle of bought apple cider vinegar today and have been inspired to make a batch myself.... thanks for your video, very informative... and I get to use my fermentation jar!
TL;DR: in both steps, save and reuse the slurry that's left behind, it's loaded with yeast and bacteria.
Nice, clear video. Two notes: the sludge that remains from the alcohol step is basically just a healthy yeast colony. You can pour more juice on top of it and keep it going. It's called a yeast slurry. In theory you can keep doing this forever, however the flavour characteristics might change over time so you want to refresh it now and then. Secondly, I think the mother you pulled out is just the pellicle. There are more bacteria in the sludge you said to throw away. I think the mother refers more to the liquid saturated with bacteria than the pellicle. Although I'm no vinegar maker, I have years of experience brewing kombucha and this seems to be very similar.
❤
No , mother is the pellicle
Good stuff, thanks so much
Please do a white vinegar one to!! Thanks for this awesome recipe!
Your explanation is very good and soluable. Today I have enjoyed your video. Many thanks to you.
Love all your videos. Thanks for this one!
Every year we get so many apples off of our trees at our allotment we never know what to do with them all so thank you for the great idea! 😄
Apple wine
Great video. I have just started making my own vinegars (today) and I wished that I had watched your video first. Next time I make apple cider vinegar I will be sure to blend up the apples to start off with. Great explanation of the vinegar making process.
This is the best ACV video out there. Thanks for sharing. Do we need to sterilize the equipment (juicer, blender, glassware, etc.) before we start? How much should we worry about that when making vinegar for consumption?
I am so excited to make ACV this way! I came across a used juicer, and have put it to good use! Thanks for the great video!
Definitely wait until the first alcohol ferment is finished.
@@GlenAndFriendsCooking Yes, I watched again and saw that at that point you added the vinegar with the mother. I am also making Pear cider vinegar!
Thanks so much for all you do!
Great video, thanks for sharing! I don't have access to an air lock type container... Do you have another recommendation? Could I sterilize a jar with a lid (glass lid maybe?) and use that for the first process? Thanks again!
Great Video... Is it at all possible to use two different types od yeasts together??? What would happen???
Wow I have the same juicer and yours is so clean!
You are a pleasure to watch! Good science, well explained.
I enjoy the video. I would like to know do you have a video showing you starting a new batch using the mother
Hello Glen!
Thanks for the video. Good idea to inoculate the juice with brewers yeast which I heard is called a "bottom" yeast ; to keep the flavours in.
Besides the flavour aspect, would using Baker's yeast be a really bad thing? Some even use this for quite decent tasting, homemade wines.
Nice idea to buy a small quantity of A C.V. for the acidobacter.
Nice presentation!
Bakers yeast makes a lovely prison wine, but not good for alcohol you would want to drink / distill in to vinegar.
Great vid. Also to note, you could rerack fresh apple juice onto that trub without having to buy new yeast. While it would be best to 'wash' it, probably would work great.
Thank you for sharing, this kind of process I tried to find for long time now because it is really a 100% pure ACV. Love it but my only problem is where to buy that kind of a yeast you using if here in my country. God bless
Very well done step by step explanation. Ty 🙏
Hi Glen
Could you please do a brown rice vinegar video? Ive been looking for a long time. You explain the process very clear.
Hmmm - Sounds interesting. I might give that a try!
@@GlenAndFriendsCooking that would be so cool thank you so much in advance. Cant wait to see this future video :D
Yes, please!
Hi Glen... If I could bother you one more time for the yeast to liquid ratio I will be all set. Thank you for your help with my batch today. It made a huge difference. Regards, A very happy subscriber.
If you are using beer / wine yeast ¼ tsp per 1L - but I hardly ever measure. You just need a little bit to get the process started.
So glad you scrapped the music bed.
Turns out I like my Glen neat.
Thanks
questions/what happened when adding sugar or date molasses to vinegar
I need clarification and chemical equations
Been waiting all year for my apple tree to be ready for harvesting to give this a go, it’s defiantly doable with a blender but a lot more work, just started it today and I’ll post how the final result turns out! :D
Professional👍👍
Excellent video. That mother looks like a scoby for kombucha. I know a scoby is bacteria and yeast together, and allows the process to be completed in one step, but can I make kombucha as a two step like you've done here?
Thank you so much. Appreciate
You always have good stuff from old recipes old cook books 👍👍👍👍
Thank you. Your instructions are superior to anything else I've seen on youtube. I do have a couple of questions. You did not add any sugar when making the apple cider vinegar, while you added one whole block of piloncillo when making your pineapple vinegar. Was it because you thought the apples had an adequate level of sure and the pineapple did not? If the apples were not that sweet, should I add sugar, and how much? Thanks again.
THIS is the video for apple cider making I’ve been looking for. I’ve been perplexed that most videos ignore the key word “cider” and don’t actually use apple juice or the two step vinegar process
I'm excited to start a batch now.
Hey Glen, could you do a video on how to make raisin vinegar and other vinegars as well?
Hi, thank you very much for sharing. I have a few questions to ask you. First of all, I did make some fermented fruits using rotten fruits from my hobby farm for ferterizer purpose. They do produce thick layer of mother. Can I use the same mother to make apple cider since the mother is from rotten fruits? And can I use Vita Mix to grind up the apples? When should I strain them if I grind up the apples using Vita Mix? Do I need to buy special containers from Wine making store to put the airlock on? Thank you again. I can't wait to try to make it when I get my harvest this Fall.
Wow, this was so good. Kind of reminds me of my wine-making days; I guess this is the next step in a natural progression ;-)
Hi Glen. Thanks for the great video. Could I start with juice that I steamed from apples??
I have idea how to make ACV 😊thank for sharing your videos... 😉
Without a doubt the best vinegar tutorial by far... I do my homework before I do anything, I have watched every video on UA-cam about this subject and the others should have watched yours before they waisted there time making there's. Not only do you show how... you show why and why not and I appreciate that..
Great video, thank you. I made the vinegar and it tastes wonderful. My question is about how to replenish the vinegar as it is used. I have a large gallon size container with a spigot. As I use it do I add more apple juice or apple juice with mother, etc...??
The best video, inspired me to make it.
I can't tell you how many videos I've watched on making apple cider vinegar. I can't tell you how glad I am that I found this video. If I don't have one of those air lock things can I just a coffee filter?
Unfortunately a coffee filter isn't ideal - you need to create an environment without Oxygen or at least low Oxygen for the yeast to work at their best. The airlocks at a homebrew store are about $2 so pretty cheap, and they last forever. (On Amazon though there are places trying to sell the same thing for $40... so don't be fooled)
I'm actually going by a home brew store today. I'll pick one up. Thanks
Same counts for me, I already knew the principle of vinegar making. But basically every other video just throws chunks of apple in water and let it sit. This way of first making an alcoholic base and then making vinegar is the true way, personally I'm all for naturally fermentation, but that's totally personal.
@@GlenAndFriendsCooking if I can't find it here where I live, will Mason jar lid work if I put the apples inside the Mason jar? I mean really close the lid tightly to prevent the air from coming in. Will it work?
Never - tightly close the lid! You'll just end up with a potential explosion as pressure builds up. If you can't find an airlock; just screw the mason jar lid on 3/4 of the way so that it still wiggles.
Hi just found your channel and subscribed. I’m new to ferments. Would that mother be ok to use as a Scoby for Kombucha?
I'm trying your method~thank you for sharing..
How do u start another vinegar with that other?? Thanks🎶🎶looking forward in hearing from u .. that vinegar looks so good !
The best. Super recipe. Thanks for share.
Hi , thank you for uploading such a great video. Before watching this video I have started to make an apple cider vinegar and it’s been 15days, I have keep the apple juice in a big jar without adding anything. And cover the mouth of the jar with cheese cloth. So, my question is can I add the yeast now ? And I have a thick surface on the top of the apple juice and it’s little alcohol smell.
this was really good !!! i have a bunch of bottles of self made cider that for some reason got a bitter flavour in time and want to turn them into vinegar. Is the room temperature really ok for cider -> vinegar process? i have a basement room with constant 8-10 degrees celsius in any season and i am wondering if slower process at that temperature would be ok
Thank you for the video, I saw this too late. Have been trying with other methods and already have one batch . I have a question , I didn't add yeast and chopped apples and put in water, should I close the lid, or should I put a paper towel ? After straining I know I should just put paper towel, but I used the other method and unfortunately it is one step. I am trying to understand yours since you add yeast and closed the top, should I do the same?
Great video! I cannot find airlock lid though. Can I do the first step just by using a normal jar with its lid?
thank you so much very informative
That was cool! Thank you!!
Thanks for your excellent job.may I use old apple cider vinegar as mother vinegar?Plz
Great video.. thank you for uploading
I've been toying around with the idea of making my own vinegar. I kept looking and looking for someone who knows how to make vinegar, and finally found you! I remember from my chemistry classes that you need alcohol to make vinegar, and all videos I've seen about making vinegar on UA-cam have been people talking about how the fermentation of fruits needs to "breathe"... NO! Alcohol is not made in an aerobic environment. That's my measure to see if they know what they are talking about. :P lol
Glenn, thank you for sharing this great recipe. One question, would you consider adding “mother” instead of yeast?
You need the yeast at the start to convert sugar to alcohol. Then the Mother converts alcohol to acetic acid. I did add both at the appropriate places in a two stage process.
This is such a great video and so informative and so helpful like lots of your videos, but please, I beg you, please lose the super distracting music.
That was the best Apple cider vinegar video I ever seen.
Very informative video. Thank you
Hello Glen,
Apples are imported here in Malaysia. They have wax on them. Do I need to get rid of the wax before juicing the apples? Do you have any suggestion in getting rid of the wax if it is needed? Thanks in advance.
Just stumbled this.. you have awesome content.
What brand of wine/beer year do you use... link would be great. Thank you.
Awesome Video Glen! A question of mine: So you are not using any additional water and sugar! It is just the apple juice, right?
