*Vinegar mother is the name given to the solid part of a vinegar culture. The solid parts include colonies of the bacterium Acetobacter aceti floating on rafts of cellulose. Acetobacter turns ethanol (the alcohol in wine) into acetic acid (the acid in vinegar), and makes cellulose along the way. After a time, the cellulose can become big enough to make an impressive disc that floats on the surface of the vinegar culture (sometimes mistakenly called a SCOBY, a word used by people who make kombucha).

Many vinegar mother offers (on Etsy and elsewhere) focus on these cellulose discs but it's the billions of near-invisible colonies suspended in the live, liquid culture that form the real, hardworking mother of vinegar. As your vinegar culture matures, it will start forming discs like those shown in the pictures.

You will need:
Your favorite white wine to share with mother
A glass or pottery crock with a loose-fitting lid
Clean cheesecloth or a clean tea towel
A few weeks

Our vinegar mother has been alive for decades. We use her vinegar in our herbal extracts and tonics.
She is extremely temperature hardy for low temperatures.
We feed her only the best wines, many of which we make ourselves.
