apple cider vinegar - batch2

Following this guy's method coz he seems like the only one who knows the science behind it all...

Slight variations but still sticking to his methodology...

- I won't be juicing the fruit.

- I will use my ginger bug instead of yeast

The ingredients and amounts I used...

1 litre dechlorinated water

357g apple scraps

1 TBsp white sugar

150ml ginger bug (liquid only)

The slightly cloudy top is from the ginger bug I added. It cleared up the next day.

Oh and later at the start of stage 2 I will add 2 TBsp Bragg acv.

Moved the apple scraps around daily. 

17Aug2020 day2:

20Aug2020 day5: a thin pellicle has formed and as a result I havent mixed it today...



23Aug2020 day7: Removed solids. Total juice was 1239ml (145ml of that was from squeezing the solids through a cloth). After allowing to settle, I used the liquid minus the sediment which amounted to 1176ml. pH was around 5. Added 2 TBsp Bragg acv

Now wait till 12 Sept to test again.

29Aug2020 day14: First signs the liquid is clearing.


14Sep2020 day30: Tastes nice, milder than Bragg acv. pH 3.5. Bottled it.
