and @phoxy it looks like it has a mother in the bottom of it! WooHoo! gonna try making my own vinegar once I get through this bottle. What should I choose to do? more cider on a cider mother or should I go for something different like the beer or wine ones I've seen you try I wonder.

Sweet! I mean totally sour, dude!

Make a vinegar you use so you can taste the difference. I don't think the mother source makes any difference beyond retaining some flavours.

If you make a beer vinegar go with a very malty dark beer not a light or hoppy beer. My IPA malt vinegar is kinda skunky and the pilsner malt vinegar has little flavour.

And for wine vinegar I suggest avoiding wines with sulphites, I think that's the reason my wines never soured after I added chunks of the mother.

So probably cider or malt vinegar is easiest unless you can find sulphite free wine easily.

Stout it is :D

I can't wait to hear how it turns out!

It's weird that beer is typically preservative free but wine isn't. I guess it's an artifact of packaging or the process or maybe because wine can be stored for years.

Yeah maybe. It will be a bit before I try to make it but I'll take pics and post them when I do. Have to finish the vinegar in the bottle first and its brand new.
