problems making homemade vinegar

greenspun.com : LUSENET : Countryside : One Thread

Am having trouble making homemade vinegar from apple peelings, cores, etc. I followed directions in several books purporting to give fail-safe recipes, but vinegar invariably molds on top. We live in a hot, humid area of Texas, so I imagine that's the problem. If anyone has any suggestions, I would appreciate it. Thanks, Sally saltex@pdq.net

Are you sure it is mold and not the "MOTHER" that is growing? I've tried vinegar twice and both time it came out real weak, but the "MOTHER" floated to the top each time. write me back with your trial
