Red Wine Vinegar - A Day in the Life of Fermenting!

Red Wine Vinegar


Ingredients:

Red Wine Pellicle
1 Cup Organic Wine - No sulfites
1/2 Cup Filtered Water

Directions:

1.  Place your vinegar mother (pellicle) in a wide mouth glass jar or other wide opening 
     vessel.  
2.  Add 1 Cup Organic Wine preferably with no sulfites and organic.  *Trader Joes carries 
     two brands that you can purchase.
3.  Add 1/2 Cup filtered Water to the wine liquid.
4.  Taste your liquid, you will find that over time it is going to turn more vinegary and less like 
     wine.
5.  Cover the jar with a cloth and rubber band to prevent bugs from entering but allowing 
     oxygen in.
6.  Date the jar and place in a dark cool location.
7.  Process takes approximately 6-12 weeks.  Begin tasting in intervals to notice the flavor 
     and your liking.










Began my Red Wine Vinegar ferment on August 31st and it's still in the process of fermentation.  This was my first attempt and the hardest part of this process was finding a pellicle starter, eventually I would like to start my own.  And the second hardest part was finding an organic "no sulfites" red wine.  Trader Joes does carry only 1 brand - fyi.  Looking forward to tasting this amazing vinegar!
