{"product_id":"maischewerk-set-essig","title":"Maischewerk Vinegar Mother Duo Apple \u0026 Red Wine, 100 ml Starter Culture Each","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe vinegar mother duo is for you if you want to make your own vinegar, and in two varieties at once: apple vinegar from a fermented apple batch and wine or red wine vinegar from wine. The set consists of two parts, one of each: the Vinegar Mother Apple and the Vinegar Mother from Red Wine, both as a live starter culture of 100 ml. That way you have both cultures together in one order and can start two batches side by side. You will also need the fermented apple batch, the wine, two vessels and cloths to cover them.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe combination follows the base drink: the Vinegar Mother Apple is intended for vinegar from an apple batch, the Vinegar Mother from Red Wine for wine and red wine vinegar. In both, acetic acid bacteria are at work, gradually converting the alcohol into acetic acid with oxygen from the air. Both batches need air, warmth and patience. And because you can keep back part of each batch as the mother for the next one, it doesn't stop at a single batch.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eIncluded in the set\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e1 × Joenos Vinegar Mother Apple, 100 ml starter culture for vinegar\u003c\/strong\u003e (Item no.
