Wine to Vinegar (homemade) How good vinegars are made.
To Make HEALTHIER Vinegar's as spoken about in the scripture (historically) is a real art. Start with a good "mother."
Put the mother into a 1-5 gallon crock and pour some unpasteurized wine (homemade is ideal) over it. You can start with just a cup or to and keep adding more. The wine must have air, so cover with only a loose wooden cover or with several layers of cheese cloth. The vinegar will be ready in 4-5 weeks. You will know it is ready by tasting it. Draw the vinegar off as you need it. You can continue to add more wine. giving each new addition a few weeks before drawing off the vinegar.
Vinegar is not spoiled wine. Spoiled wine goes dead; it is tasteless and has a lifeless, muddy color. You don’t get vinegar by simply letting leftover wine sit in a bottle. Vinegar is produced when bacteria in wine turns the alcohol to acetic acid.
First, you need to start wit a wine that is alive—that is, not a pasteurized wine (usually cheap domestic wines are pasteurized). Your own homemade wine is ideal. Second, you need a starter. The starter is called a Mother, and most likely you will have to get it from friends who make their own vinegar. (some health food stores know how to spot the mother in vinegar’s) It will look like a slimy skin that first floats on the surface of the vinegar and eventually gets heavier and sinks to the bottom. Sometimes it resembles a piece of soft liver; sometimes in a layers, like a stack of pancakes. Once it is combined with live wine, it will start turning the wine into vinegar in a matter of days.
Never touch the mother or the vinegar with you fingers; the bacteria on your hands can kill it. If the mother dies, the vinegar will become tasteless and turn a muddy color. The vinegar in which olives and pickles are preserved will also cloud up if you stick your fingers in the jar that's.
Good homemade vinegar is much better than anything you can buy, it has a pungent aroma and is excellent for cooking.
*It’s nice to make tincture out of real good vinegar’s (too hard to find). That's why I decided to put in this page.
FOR OTHERS JUST START WITH, “Bragg Apple Cider Vinegar” book. It has a lot of uses for vinegar. http://www.bragg.com/ I’ve worked a lot with his vinegar ideas and read his book several times. He keeps it up to date with the book. The scriptures refer to their uses of “vinegar” throughout ages. The use of vinegars is ancient.
Note: That it does get rid of parasites in the body will do it cheaper with a organic vinegar than with the use of most herbs IF done faithfully. That’s why I had to have a entry on Vinegar if for no other reason than to understand it, educate, and to introduce more of subject matter.
