My mom has- are you starting with a "mother"?

I have some store-bought vinegar that is supposed to still have the
mother in it. I was going to start with that.

Several people in this thread have mentioned using wine to start. I am
allergic to the sulfites naturally present in wine, so I was wanting to
do a fruit-based vinegar. Cherry, or pear, or maybe blueberry. Apple
cider vinegar is easy enough to buy.

Has anyone done vinegar from scratch, starting with a non-fermented
product? It'd be a two-step process--fermenting the sugars into alcohol,
then fermenting the alcohol into vinegar.

I've done some home brewing, so I'm fairly comfortable with this, but
still was curious if anyone else had tried it.

Thanks to those that have already responded, and thanks in advance to
those that might still respond.

Don't you love it when people point you to a link
(as if your too ignorant to google up, "making your own vinegar")
pfft.. I personally think you are equal to the task of searching up
some good recipes
but whats the point in posting just so someone can pass the buck

Just consider the dumbasses dumbasses
people with issues

oh well

say, I haven't tried this, but I heard you can put one drop of vinegar
into a bottle of apple cider and it will turn the whole bottle of
cider into vinegar.

Agreed.

I was looking for antedotal experiences than recipes.

I bet this would work, but only if the drop of vinegar was unpasterized
and still had the acetobacter culture (the "mother") in it.
