Homemade apple cider vinegar - vinegar from falls. How to make apple cider vinegar?

Virtually all apples are suitable for the preparation of homemade natural apple cider vinegar. The best fruit is from a reliable source, ecological, without chemical spraying. If we use such fruits then we do not need to wash them. The bacteria on the skin will start feeding on the sugar, which will speed up the fermentation process.

This time I prepared vinegar from the so-called apple falls. I was given a basket of fragrant apples, unknown to me or the owner of the apple tree variety. It is an old tree, apples are tasty, and most of all, which is very important for fermentation - ecological.

When is the vinegar ready?

Fermentation ends when the water stops foaming and bubbles no longer form. We will recognize the finished vinegar by its slight turbidity, pleasant smell and, of course, taste. It is worth checking the jar from time to time and trying the liquid. A well-made vinegar will have a pleasant apple scent and a sour, acetic flavor.
