My Halal Kitchen post on vinegar, where Smith offers input in the comments: myhalalkitchen.com/the-vinega...
Reggie Smith's instructions for simple homemade wine vinegar:
Buy any wine and then add 1/2 teaspoon of 3% hydrogen peroxide (standard drug store strength) to the full bottle (standard 750mL wine bottle), shake a few times to mix and wait a couple of minutes. The sulfites are gone! For best results, cut the wine with 1 part wine to 1 part water; vinegar has difficulty forming over 10% ABV and wine that ferments in-bottle usually has to have a lot of alcohol evaporate out first. Then add about 8 oz of unfiltered vinegar (with live mother), cover with breathable fabric of paper towel, and let sit. In a few weeks, you should have vinegar with a mother on the surface! - Навчання та стиль
I love how Reginald accidentally made vinegar and decided "well, this is my career now." Long may you prosper, Reginald.
We don't make mistakes, just happy little accidents!
I'm tryna have that kinda mindset ong

He seem like a cool guy, hes got a like pioneer attitude. Try new things and stick with what works
It's such a story. "I tried making wine and it came out really bad, so I make vinegar now"

@Phil Weatherley what are you talking about..?
Vinegar, Eternal Condiment
Our ancestor found the same spoiled sugary syrup - and all of them, across great distances, with no connection to one another - all decided "I'm gonna taste that.", and the rest is culinary history.
😅😂
Really speaks to just how awful food used to be.
Not to be negative about your comment, but the truth is back in the ancestry world, those people did use ships to cross a count thousands of miles to make a global world exist back then. The only difference now is that we have airplanes. But still back then 4000 years ago, the entire world was connected.
@@dragonbolic2468 Look into the Nephilim and Giants, lol seriously. Look at the ancient megalithic structures around the planet. Bible is true.
@@EQOAnostalgia The idea of the Nephilim and giants is a biblical concept that appears in the Book of Genesis in the Old Testament. According to the Bible, the Nephilim were a race of giant beings who lived on Earth before the Flood. They are described as the offspring of the "sons of God" and the "daughters of men." The exact nature of the Nephilim and their relationship to other beings on Earth is a subject of debate and interpretation.
In some religious traditions, the Nephilim are seen as supernatural beings with divine or supernatural origins, while in others, they are viewed as a race of mortals with exceptional strength and size.
As for the existence of megalithic structures around the planet, it is true that there are many ancient ruins and monuments that demonstrate the architectural and engineering prowess of past civilizations. These structures include Stonehenge in England, the pyramids in Egypt, and the Mayan pyramids in Central America, among others.
However, the idea that these structures were built by giants or supernatural beings is not supported by mainstream archaeology and anthropology. Instead, these structures are typically attributed to the ingenuity, skill, and determination of the human societies that built them, using the tools and technologies available to them at the time.
In conclusion, the idea of the Nephilim and giants is a religious concept with roots in the Bible, and while it has inspired much speculation and debate, it is not supported by scientific evidence. The ancient megalithic structures around the planet are impressive achievements of human societies and demonstrate the ingenuity and creativity of our ancestors, but there is no evidence to suggest that they were built by giants or supernatural beings.
Lol I really like Reginald, he's awesome. He might not initially _seem_ like he's all that excited about what he does, but it's clear by the end this guy absolutely lives and breathes all things vinegar (well, maybe not breathe, that might end poorly :| )
when i first heard his name and saw the book I was like ooooh okay so we got a super super old book telling us the old ways of making wine written by a dude who died like 200 years ago. imagine my shock when reginald pops up on the screen and looks to be in his mid-30s, early 40s. at first I was wondering if maybe he was a distant descendent or something hahaha
I then wonder how many drink vinegar right out the bottle? Love the stuff I do
@@Cj-yw8cssame haha
I love how Reginald, with a straight face, says "it tasted absolutely horrible".
Yeah, because the sensible thing to do would have been to make a maple rum by distilling that shit, but (assuming Reginald lives in the US,) you can't do that without getting all sorts of licenses, (unlike microbrewing and winemaking.)
@@RamadaArtist im all for small government, but if you are going to be distilling volatile stuff in any semilarge fashion, its extremely sensible you are required a license beforehand
edit: didnt know it was also the case for water stills, on hindsight, yeah, probably the licenses should be way looser
@@AnonymousGentooman A single still requires registration, so even if you just want to make, like, a couple gallons of booze to last the year, the ATF gets all up in your shit.
[edit] I accidentally wrote "FDA" initially, thinking, "Firearms, Drugs and Alcohol," which is dramatically incorrect... I've been awake for a while. [/edit]
@@AnonymousGentooman This is the case, literally, even if all you're doing with it is distilling water so that you can have, say, purified water.
@@RamadaArtist Is that actually the law or is that just the ATF making stuff up? I know they basically make up firearm rules, but I don't know if that's a bureau wide attitude.

This is right up my alley. We usually buy a bottle of Jack Daniels Honey-Flavored Bourbon and a few Madagascar vanilla beans once a year and make our own vanilla. We split four of the vanilla beans length-wise, pop them into the bourbon bottle, seal it back up and put it into the basement for a year. Throughout the year, when we are in the basement food-store area we give it a shake. When we start a new one, we take last year's up to the kitchen and start using it. It makes a HUGE difference in your baked goods. People are always asking for the recipe but when you tell them it takes a year to make the vanilla, they sigh and reserve themselves to never be able to make good baked goods.
Today my wife bought a cheap bottle of Sutter Home Merlot and we started our red-wine vinegar. I'm happy it only takes a few weeks to get the results.
dang, gonna have to look into this more and try it for sure!!

I can really appreciate the fact that Reginald doesn’t blink and his humor seems very particular. I could totally kick it with him!

I find the similarities fascinating between the horticulture world and brewing world.
A "mother" to a plant is one that you grow specifically for the sole purpose of producing clones.
And the fact that the same thing goes for batches of bacterial growths and cultures, that's pretty cool.
right? I don't drink but I DO love horticulture and it makes me really appreciate it.
I literally had a jar of wine sitting in my cupboard for half a year with no results...then I came across this and watered it down a touch. Literally 3 DAYS later I check on it and found a mother growing on the top. Thanks!

I'm sure that is a factor in why he is still in business lol.
it seems more than just a business to him lol hes very passionate

It's really fun to see what acetic acid can do when it gets well beyond the concentrations he referred to by 'it will burn your mouth pretty bad'. Laboratory "glacial acetic acid" will eat through concrete faster than most sulfuric acid solutions you'll find. So, it's sorta like nightmare vinegar.
so concrete and brick cleaner? sounds useful

Safeway used to sell a non-shelf-stable mango habanero hot sauce that was way too sugary for my taste. I accidentally left it out and it began to ferment.
So I opened it every day to release the co2 and when it got to tasting around 6 or 7%, I left it unsealed for a week or so.
It turned into vinegar and I had a shelf-stable hot sauce with a pretty unique taste.
I wish that sauce wasn't discontinued. I didn't care for it until after the fermentation, but damn was it good afterwards.
that wasnt vinegar

There is a fairly common replacement for Malt Vinegar in the UK known as "Non-Brewed Condiment" that is basically just water, acetic acid and some flavoring/colour. Though you're legally not allowed to call it vinegar and restaurants can't put it in "traditional" vinegar bottles, it is one of those places where non-brewed vinegars are legal to sell for human consuption.
That reminds me of the "frozen dessert" stuff you see cheap ice creams use a lot here in the states, because there's just straight up not a high enough cream to milk ratio to call it legally Ice Cream.
yes and this version is halal because it has no alcohol content
It’s halal because it doesn’t have alcohol in it, which is another advantage of it.

This was fascinating! Fun fact: in film photography, the stop bath used to arrest the development process is often a type of acetic acid. It smells like brutally strong vinegar.
The smell makes sense considering acetic acid is the "active ingredient" of vinegar in the same sense that ethanol is the active ingredient in booze. (Sure you have a water carrier and some aromatic organic compounds for flavor but the key ingredient that defines them are acetic acid and ethanol respectively).
That smell would always make me hungry back during my photography classes years ago; the dark room smelled amazing.
Stop bath literally is Acetic Acid, but in an ≈8% concentration
@@Randomeaninglessword so you became a food photographer but photography left you hungry 😋
vinegar is a solution of 3~5% acetic acid
I've been making red-wine and Traditional balsamic for 20 years and produced over 500 gallons over time. My Red-wine live vinegar does not produce a cellulose mat that people call mother. So my take is Mother is really only live Acetabactor and cellulose does not need to be present. On Traditional Balsamic. You first crush and press wine grape then heat to reduce and make a 40% sugar must. Ferment this into very sweet wine. Add this and redwine vingar to the first and biggest barrel in the battery. This process is repeated each year.
That was a well done video that has answered one of life's great questions, thanks dude!
I’ve been looking for a simple answer to “what is vinegar” for AGES and this is finally the answer!!
I've wondered from time to time. I've asked my wife. I don't think we ever sought out an answer.
Modenese here, i have multiple times tasted very aged vinegars, up to 25 years. The flavor is amazing. After many years in the barrels it doesn't even taste acid anymore, it's bitter sweet and very fruity
I know you posted this a year ago. But may I ask, does Modena still sell what it's considered "fake" balsamic vinegar (grape must mixed with wine vinegar) or do you guys only have and sell the real stuff (only grape must as the main ingredient aged 12+ years)? Here in the states it is extremely difficult and near impossible to find the real stuff so all we have is grape must mixed with wine vinegar and the enthusiast call it "fake".
@@iTakeCash yes in Italy in general you can find the fake stuff, is actually fine for salads
you need to search for the "Aceto Balsamico tradizionale di Modena". And if it's really cheap, it's probably fake. Brands like Ponti sell fake vinegar. To be 100% sure you need to go to an "Acetaia", litterally meaning the "place where vinegar is made"
The balsamic vinegar is considered a very luxurious commodity, so I can imagine that it's not gonna be an easy find
Where can we get the real stuff?
Regarding the end of your video, I have a friend who tried putting some balsamic vinegar in his coffee / mixing it with espresso, and he liked it so much he made that a regular order at his local coffee shop.
I tried it and it’s not bad. If you like kombucha or other acidic drinks, it’s worth a try.
Gonna try this
I learned so much from this, thanks much
In France it used to be very common to have something called a "vinaigrier", a kind of pot made of stoneware, ceramic or clay, or a small barrel, with a small tap at the bottom, used by the common people to make their own vinegar at home.
It is still fairly common in the countryside. Since people used too drink wine regularly, especially in the countryside, in farmhouses etc, and wine is so common in France, it is a people's drink (as well as a fancy drink, like in the US. There's always been all kinds of wine), people put their wine leftovers in it all year long and have a constant supply of their own vinegar.
You can still buy them new or pre-owned, it's a nice item often made by artisans, and is still fairly common in certain traditional households. It's also popular in the autonomists movement (people that want to regain their individual and local autonomy or part of it and do not want to rely solely on consumerism). Since it is made by craftsman, it's also common place to see it as a decorative item by people who don't use it, and often got it from their ancestors.
It's also easy to buy a mother from individuals on the web, especially, again, in the countryside, to put in your vinaigrier.
Now lookin both for a vinaigrier and an autononomist group ...

Vinegar isn't just for preserving food? :p
The man is truly pickled!
Adam I actually DO put vinegar in my coffee (or at least the water I use to brew coffee)!
Because the water where I live is slightly basic once it is filtered, I have to add a slight amount of vinegar (I use distilled white) to bring it back to a neutral pH. If I don't, it neutralizes all the acid in my coffee and I am left with an extremely bland, bitter cup!
That's big brained

As a Muslim I was thinking about what vinegar means for Muslims and to my surprise you started talking about it. Amazingly thorough, thanks for shedding some light on the process and including us in that discussion. Love your videos.
I thought people of the muslim faith couldn’t consume alcohol?
@@chuckesthedoughboy703 Yep, but there's basically no alcohol anymore in vinegar. As said in the video you literally cannot become intoxicated with vinegar. Also as mentioned in the video, they develop techniques where alcohol is directly transformed into vinegar, so you never have access to alcohol.
My family is Muslim and every single Muslim I know use vinegar.
So can you cook with wine then?
as a non-Muslim, i had this thought. if vinegar is "blessed", as the Qur'an says. shouldn't that mean it's automatically Halal? even if the alcohol present is leftover from the making process. you know: an exception made for vinegar, because of all the benefits it brings. kinda like keeping the baby, and the bathwater.
not saying this as a method to "cheat". you know, adding a splash of vinegar to a glass of wine so you can pass it off as "totally a glass of vinegar" and "totally Halal." no, i'm talking specifically leftover from the making process. so any true vinegar with added wine would be... i guess it's in a gray zone and up to the Muslim's discretion.
i mean, it's "blessed". doesn't that make it Halal? or am i missing something?

Fun fact about the sulfites. I learned this because my wife is allergic to it. The process of making the wine and even some beers it causes sulfites to form naturally. If there is a certain percentage of sulfites in the wine it must be labeled on the bottle. There is at least one product I've seen that is out there that helps filter the sulfites out.
Did you make your own wine and your wife got sick?
@@BigBodyBiggolo nah its just in pretty much all wines because it naturally forms from the production process. She wasn't sure why her joints got inflamed when drinking certain alcohols then a while later we found out there's sulfites in it. She knew from a young age she's allergic to all types of sulfa, sulfites, sulfer etc... but we didn't know that certain alcohol had it. It causes minor joint pain so her doctor said to not drink at all or drink til you can't feel it.
@@frost68nskate Ohh like that.
Lol "or drink till you cant feel it" i like that doctor.
I mean, do it like in the video. Add some Hydrogen peroxide to it.
The sulfides react, forming sulfur dioxide, which then leaves the bottle.
Wait a bit before your drink it. Like an hour or so, I don't know how much sulfides are in wine and how fast the sulfur dioxide leaves the bottle.
I'm sure the wine will taste different, how different? No idea, but it won't have sulfides in it. :)
Now that's an excellent description.
Fascinating!! I've always wondered this but never thought to look it up! Thank you!!
what i love about grapes is that it does so many things and comes in so many forms. like the normal grape form, or the wine if you leave some grape juice around, or vinegar if you leave that wine for even longer lol. it evolves.

also how much of the foodstuff processes contains some kind of "the food is basically getting bad and eaten by bacteria, but in a very specific way that transforms it into something edible for different reasons. it's like the ancient version of finding a years old leftover chip behind the couch except instead of just eating it (even with all the molds) you eat half of it, and try to cook the other half in 5 different ways to find out which one makes you the least sick, and then you try dropping the crumbs into other foods to see what will happen with them in few more months.
jeez, ancient people had so much time on their hands.
also realizing that the fancy "fermentation" word just means "drop the right kind of dirt in there and let it spoil in the right way, because what you're after is the poop of the bacteria in that dirt" is a huge breakthrough.
That's basically what everyone does in uni. I know a guy who kept open cheese for a week. It went blue. His cupboard also smells of mold cause of the bread. I've made interesting cocktails with flat prosecco that had been left out lol.
They were starving bro...
@@ee2610 i personally, if given the choice of starving to death or poisoning myself so that i puke my innards out, and THEN starve to death...
...i would choose just the plain old starving to death.
Actually, partially fermented fruits, in particular, are a great source of nutrients that are hard to find otherwise (or something like that). PBS Eons released a video about the development of our ability to taste sourness, if you wanna check it out.
Look, if you're starving you're not going to throw anything away. Period. Everything after that is learning tricks to enjoy what you've got left. The only thing you have in surplus is your own labor.
Videos about food preservation would be rad, I've always been curious about canning, curing, smoking and such.
I liked how u smoothly moved on to ur sponsor 🎉 it made the whole video feel like a conversation
Huh, the algorithm finally blessed me with something interesting.
I wonder if u ever got suggested the "This is why I season my cutting board, not my steak" lol
Reginald seems incredibly knowledgeable yet down to earth
this told me everything i wanted to know about vinegar thank you
I can't think of a time I've used vinegar in anything except oil & vinegar salad dressing.
It is a staple in my pantry however, because I use it to clean stainless, especially in the kitchen bc it's food, meaning it's safe around food, as well as being VERY good at cleaning stainless steel (which is all over my kitchens)
I've never wondered what the parental figures of a condiment are but i'm all for it
Totally gives me a “good eats” vibe. A couple times I was just listening I thought I was hearing Alton Brown.
I thought the same thing! I lived watching good eats. Very educational and fun.
It's like halfway between Good Eats and Modern Marvels. His history and science content rules.
This is quite possibly the best UA-cam rabbit hole algorithm proposed video I have seen. Fascinating. I was learning how to culture daphnia (water crustaceans) to feed my fish, learned they eat both algae or yeast. Then I was wondering if I could feed brown sugar to yeast, and wtf is brown sugar anyway? Found a great video about it, it’s just less processed sugar with some molasses still coating it, for those of you wondering. Then this popped up and now I want to try and start making some artesian vinegar.
Thanks for all of this amazing information! I appreciated the history lesson too. 😌👌
This man can make ad breaks so smooth, he's like the Linus Tech Tips of cooking
I skip them anyways xD
Needs more clickbait and merch to be LTT.
@@SimonWoodburyForget love Vanced
Can you do a video on why black pepper has become so ubiquitous in western cooking? Seems that it's the only single spice that's available on every table and in almost every recipe.
Actually I prefer the term African American pepper
@@ricksanchez7607 Pepper of color.
Great suggestion
Woah woah... it’s peppercorn. Don’t be offensive.
Wkwkkwkw
The best slip in to commercial i ever seen. Awesome.
Mother - related to the famous Escoffier? He wrote about mother and daughter sauces. Basic cooking, I know, but, I just wondered. When I used to make ginger beer, we had what was known as a “bug” which was the live bacteria needed to ferment ginger beer (basically ginger plus sugar plus atmospheric bacteria). Maybe “mother” means something closer to the “bug” used for fermenting…. ???
Damnit, Adam with his smooth ad transition caught me off guard again
gotta admit, adam has the smoothest (and relatively unobtrusive) ad transitions
Ditch Suarez not always but that just keeps us on our feet lol.
Well, that was a heckuva lot more interesting than I thought it was going to be. Good job guys! Very educational.
This is very informative and interesting. Enjoyed the history.
Very interesting, thank you for sharing! I’ve watch a lot of your channel, always entertaining and educational.
I've heard "I probably like my food more acidic than you do" enough times that I'm kinda shocked it's been hundreds of videos before this one
So basically humanity has been drinking yeast poop all this time.
And bread is the result of yeast farts.
What is cheese then ?
We eat bee vomit as well
@@NicolasMendoula only clumpy milk
@@kittenmimi5326 I think it's transformation is due to some bacterial action
brilliant, nice one Regi
That was the best transition to an ad I’ve ever seen. Seriously.
A week ago, I found a gelatinous goo covering my red wine vinegar in a small bottle (not airtight) I keep on the counter. I got rid of the vinegar, but now I'm thinking it was Mother. I have some unfinished red wine and some apple cider vinegar with mother in it. I think I'll try making some vinegar.
How did it turn out?
@@LydiaQDames I totally forgot to try. I have to make a note for myself to give it a go (and check to see if I still have that cider vinegar with mother).
@@bobcarn maybe make a new one, it’s been awhile now 😂😭
"Artisanal Vinegar Salesman" is definitely one of the cooler names for a profession I've ever heard.
An amazing video good job i was so enthralled by vinegar… I always wondered what it was but it wasn’t until I saw this video that I asked the question so thank you for that.
I love everything vinegar. This is why I love watching this channel, a full education on the weird food things I love!
just like coffee, it is impressive that depending on the grain, destilation and aging of the whisky can you make such complex and different tasting alcohol.
Actually a lot of the character of whisky comes from the malt and how it's dried (i.e. over burning / smoking peat or not..). The other most important source of flavour compounds is the wood the barrels are made from and, in a lot of cases, what had been in the barrels before the whisky. Distillation method is maybe third, with distilleries like Glenmorangie which uses long-necked stills having a smoother taste as the alcohol produced is more pure to start with.
@@Shaun.Stephens the water itself is also very important. If all else is the same will the type of water, amount of minerals and what minerals play a pretty big role.
The long necked still has a smoother and richer taste due to bringing more impurities but they are less efficient than other newer stills which means the the alcohol itself is more expensive.

@@isaks3243 That bit about long-necked stills having more impurities is complete hogwash, the opposite is true. The largest cost in the production of alcohol is in the starch / sugar that feeds the yeast.
Source: Experience running multiple types of still from no-neck 'pot' stills to a huge copper steam-heated still with a 10 metre fractionating column.
@@Shaun.Stephens I'm no expert. But what I was told was that a long necked still brings more of the character of the grain and how it was prepared compared to other stills. And that is because of it bringing more impurities which is where the majority of the taste is.
I'm no expert, this is just what I have been told and I'm not shure if it is right or not, haven't put much time into getting to know all the nitty and gritty about the process of making whisky, I just know enough to be able to thurroughly enjoy the whisky I have in my small collection
@@isaks3243 So just a tid bit: when a still goes to work it vaporizes the alchol along with the unstable smell/toxins that ALSO have a relatively low vaporization point, the start of the distillation and the end has more of these [the most volatile first, the end get's more water and more stable compounds], these two parts are known as the "heads" and "tails" they are very important to taste, but again also contain a lot of the other shit that makes you feel like crap.
