Transform your leftover apples into homemade vinegar using this simple, low-effort method
In short: Charles Dowding demonstrates a straightforward technique for crafting apple cider vinegar at home. By utilizing a mix of cooking and cider apples, you can harness natural fermentation processes to create your own supply with minimal equipment.
The process begins by fermenting a blend of apples in a large bucket. Once the initial rapid fermentation slows, the liquid is extracted using a siphon into glass demijohns or bottles. To complete the transformation into vinegar, the cider is left exposed to the air, allowing naturally occurring vinegar bacteria to initiate the formation of a vinegar mother.
Alternatively, you can accelerate the process by adding a mother from existing unpasteurised cider vinegar. This method, documented by Dowding on 14th December 2021, relies on simple tools and the natural environment to produce vinegar without complex equipment.
