Aurora Australis 11th October 2024
On the evening of the 11th October 2024 we had a coronal Aurora Australis. It had been going off all day, but we couldn't view it until nightfall. It peaked about 11pm, then the clouds started to roll in.
My mother was staying with us at the time, and so she managed to see her first aurora. Hence the choice of thumbnail picture.

Perform Vinegar Acid Titration at Home
มุมมอง 825ปีที่แล้ว
When making home-made vinegar, it helps to know the acidity of the product you have made. Generally by law, it cannot be called vinegar unless it is a minimum of 4% acidity. If you wish to use what you have produced in canning or preserving, like pickling, then it does need to be between 4-5% acidity. So doing acid titration will give you this information. It is easy to do, requires very little...

    Hi, Kat! Just wanted to let you know that I started another batch. The last one turned out absolutely fantastic! I used your calculations again and am hopeful that I will have strong vinegar again in about four weeks. Would going five weeks or six weeks “seal the deal” a little better, do you think?

    This was great. Thanks. Questions. Have an old vinegar from my mom who passed. Was always strong and great but got weak over the years. Made some home made wine a few years ago. Decided to add it to mom’s old vinegar as was running low. Has been a few years now and seems like half wine and half vinegar. There is an inch or two of mother on the bottom. Am trying to get it back up to propper strength. That said: Peroxide: not needed as no sulphates in home made wine. Alcohol: no idea how strong the wine was - but not overly. How do I decide if I should add water? What would you do? Should I simply get some braggs and test .25 braggs to wine by weight and give it a month? Thinking of trying a few tests in a few mason jars. Have about 4 gallons in a large old plastic olive container she used for decades. What would you do? In advance, thanks so much!!!

    Excellent video. Converting cider we don't like into ACV. We plan on using this for cooking. I added a bottle of Braggs to my full 3 gallon carboy. If it is too weak, <4%, will more time help? If it is too strong, >5%, should I dilute with distilled H2O?

    • @Kat_Andrews

      What abv% was your cider? And what volume is your bottle of Braggs? More time won’t make it stronger as it is a direct corrolation between abv and acidity.

    • @Kat_Andrews
      @Kat_Andrews 10 หลายเดือนก่อน

      @@paddymeboy7741okay, let’s do some math and work our way through it. Assuming 5%abv and exactly 3 gallon (384oz) 384 oz x 5% = 1920 1920 / 416 (384 oz of cider plus 32oz of Braggs) = 4.61% This is what the abv has been diluted down to with the addition of the braggs. While it is possible for vinegar to convert on a straight 1:1, I calculate for 80% conversion, this allows for a bacteria that may not be strong, evaporation, environmental factors etc. So, 4.61% x 0.8 (80%) = 3.69. So your vinegar can be expected to end up somewhere between 3.7 - 4.6%. This is where acid titration is so handy as it can tell you how close you are getting. If you test a week apart and you watch the numbers rising, 3.0, 3.2, 3.5, 3.8, 4.1, 4.3, 4.5, then they drop, 4.4, then that shows you have gone past the maximum conversion and now the bacteria is starting to consume the acetic acid. If this happens, bottle it quickly and keep air in the bottle to an absolute minimum.
