This following video was obviously a school project — but the two students do a really good job of showing how to make vinegar and giving the science behind it.

Musings on “the mother” and vinegar/fruit flies from goatkisses:

Erica shows us how she makes her own fruit vinegar. She usually makes it in the fall when it is apple and pear season. Erica uses the cores and bruised parts of the fruit to make the vinegar.

Here are a couple videos on making apple cider vinegar (the thick, brown kind). She talks about some issues you might encounter making vinegar with pasteurized apple cider. She gets pretty excited about vinegar.:

Thanks

for visiting The Real Know-How.

Our focus: Passing along essential information for sustainable, self-sufficient living on an individual and community level.

The posts on The Real Know-How speak to how we feed and clothe ourselves, how we generate energy, work, get around and dispose of waste.

This know-how comes from hundreds of ordinary and not-so-ordinary people who are thinking up new ways of doing things and reviving traditional methods.

We’ve got video and photo tutorials (I’m a visual learner), articles and success stories for inspiration.

In selecting what to post we’ve tried to stay away from strongly ideological and jargony content. I think the know-how has to be shared regardless of what school of thought or movement you align with.
