Hello :wave:

I've never made vinegar but have vague memories of my friedns' dad doing it ... I think he had some sort of large vat in their cellar which was filled with wine and a mysterious spongey looking item called 'the mother' which looked like a cross between a pile of sediment and a liver!

I can't tell you much more but a quick google found this http://howtomakevinegar.com/

which looks helpful!

Good luck, I'd be interested to hear how you get on :sunny:
