Hi all. For years, I've joked that I'm the only home brewer alive who can't get vinegar to start, but I've finally managed to get a malt vinegar batch going with a nice thick kombucha-like mother at the top managing the oxygen transfer.
My question is how often I should feed the mix in order to add new fuel, without overwhelming the colony? At the moment, it's in a one quart mason jar, but I have a one-gallon vinegar pot on order that I hope lets me do a continuous fermentation process. I've seen instructions to add more food every 8-10 days, every few weeks, every few months, or not at all.
Does anybody on the forums make vinegar this way?
