making your own vinegar?

post #1 of 2
Thread Starter 
So I have this bottle of white wine vinegar that has a mother of vinegar in it. How do I use this to make my own new bottle of vinegar? Just add it to wine?

The mother has grown and stayed in this small amount of vinegar so long that the vinegar has broken down to whatever it breaks down to. I tasted a tiny bit and it has an odd watery taste. How long would it take for the mother to die? How do I know if it's still alive?

Also, will this mother work best in white wine again? Or can it be used in red wine equally successfully?


(It is so weird to write and read about mothers growing and dying. And vinegar looks really wrong written out. I keep checking my spelling.)
