Question

I read that cider vinegar should be stored in glass bottles?

Otterly Badgerific

Top Answerer

Glass bottles are a good option because they won't react with the liquid inside. It is also best to choose darkened glass, as this prevents the light from spoiling the stored vinegar through oxidation. Keep in a cool, dry place.

Question

Shouldn't I keep apple cider vinegar in the refrigerator?

Abigail Sekulich

Community Answer

It's not necessary. It doesn’t improve the shelf life, and apple cider vinegar is perfectly fine stored in a pantry.

Question

Can I store large quantities of apple cider vinegar in big barrels, or do you suggest something else?

Community Answer

Store aged apple cider vinegar. If you use regular ACV, it can irritate your esophagus. Drink it in small sips if you consume it straight.

Question

Can I add apple cider to vinegar with the mother to ferment more vinegar?

Super Cool XZ

Community Answer

Adding apple cider to vinegar is not a guaranteed method to ferment more vinegar. Buying apple cider vinegar from the market is recommended. If you want to speed up home fermentation, using an oxygen pump to increase oxygenation can help.

Mostar Lift

Community Answer

Yes, you can add apple cider to vinegar with a "mother" to ferment and make more vinegar. The mother acts as a starter, initiating the fermentation process.
