White Wine Vinegar Mother

White Wine Vinegar Mother Pellicle with Starter White Wine Vinegar and Instructions. Make Your Own Vinegar Start brewing a continuous supply of natural white wine vinegar at home. It is a simple and cost-effective way to make your own vinegar for daily cooking, salad dressings, and healthy food preservation. What is included: - 1 piece (approx. 4” in diameter) of concentrated white wine vinegar mother. This is the solid cellulose disc that holds active colonies of Acetobacter Aceti bacteria. - 1/4 cup of raw, unpasteurized, and unfiltered live white wine vinegar liquid culture to provide an immediate boost for your first batch. Instructions & How It Works: The fermentation process is straightforward. Acetobacter bacteria consume the alcohol (ethanol) in white wine and turn it into acetic acid. Over time, the bacteria build a layer of cellulose on the surface, which develops into a new, solid vinegar mother disc. The included liquid culture also contains millions of active bacteria to help kickstart the process. What you will need: - White wine (for best results, choose one with low sulfites or sulfite-free); - A wide-mouth glass jar, crock, or ceramic vessel; - A breathable cover, such as a paper coffee filter or clean cheesecloth with a rubber band; - A dark, warm spot (70-80°F) and 3 to 4 weeks to let the fermentation finish.
