How To Make REAL Apple CIDER Vinegar

- How To Make Real Apple Cider Vinegar - Yeah there are lots of youtube videos about making ACV, but most of them are... not great, or maybe just plain wrong. The apple cider vinegar that the 'one step' recipes make just tastes bad...
The problem with most (if not all) How to make raw unpasturised vinegar recipe tutorials on TH-cam is that they miss the point that the bacteria that makes vinegar needs alcohol, oxygen, and a relatively sugar free environment.
But the yeast that makes the alcohol needs a high sugar low oxygen environment...
So you first have to allow the yeast to ferment the sugar into alcohol with an airlock so that an anaerobic environment can form. Once the yeast has converted the sugar to alcohol (3-7 days) you can add the vinegar mother (bacteria) and start the aerobic conversion of alcohol to acetic acid.
The method everyone else shows you - makes 'vinegar' but a very low quality apple cider vinegar that doesn't taste as good as it should. Nor will it have the good qualities that everyone is looking for.
This is a method that you could use to make any - ANY - fruit based vinegar. You could sub in pineapple, orange, peach, grape, grapefruit, etc, etc… You could even use fruit scraps left over from other baking or cooking projects. It's simple if you do it right - you get the idea.
You are making it at home - why not make the best raw unpasturised apple cider vinegar that you can?
For more information look up: U.S. Dept of Agriculture Farmers Bulletin #1424 (from 1924) "Making Vinegar in the Home and on the Farm" for a full explanation of how to make ACV.

Glen & Friends Cooking could you use a balloon as the stopper?
@@donnabullock5761 An airlock costs about $2....but yes you can.
Have to add any sugar inside sir?
Glen & Friends Cooking -Remove those SEEDS first.
Whatif I mix apple juice with apple cider vinegar. Would all the apple juice would be turned into vineger eventually “
Thank you for explaining it so well.... just on a side note, you have a very nice voice.. feel free not to use music in the background👌
glad somebody said it
I understand the impulse to try a "bed"/background music for a more pro polish, but I also prefer without music. It's more relaxing.
@@swanofnutella4734 2nd that
I totally agree. the music in the background was almost enough to make me find some other video. I only stayed because I was in desperate need of correct info.
I agree. But I understand why he uses it. I'd leave it very very subtle, even more. Because it is some sort of distracting when you are conscious of it, but really ambiental and focusing when its not. I think some kind of videos need a subtle curtain or background.
If it's sweet and yella, you got juice there fella.
If it's tangy and brown, you're in cider town

kind of a riddle
Of course in Canada the whole thing's flip-flopped.
I am so happy I found this video! This is much more what I was thinking than so many of the other videos. Especially that this starts with pure apple, and having more control over the ferment. Awesome.
This is by far the best how to make vinegar I have seen and I am keeping it for future reference, now to get to it👍😀
So good to see a video on this that understands the 2 steps.
Just tasted and strained my batch. Best I ever made and thanks for the insight.
Thank you for the clear, knowledgeable, and simple instructions. I thought the process would be more complicated. I have tried this and it works!
Greetings from New Zealand 🇳🇿
I'm so glad someone recommended this video to me! Thank you for the clear instructions
Can you make one about white vinegar as well?
I love your explanation of how Vinegar making works! I remember in another video you mentioned the term "Vinegar" means "Sour Wine". This makes sense with your process. I will do this over anyone else's, especially where this process significantly reduces the risk of mold.
Thanks - As soon as I saw the juicer I knew this was a different approach. Only have to buy a couple of bits & I'll be ready.
Thank you so much absolutely best video on how to make ACV. Very detailed and informative i fully understand the process now.
Fantastic tutorial. I cant wait to try this myself.
I followed this recipe and made my own batch. It came out perfect. Thanks
Thank you. Just watched a few videos for making ACV and was shocked to see them add sugar... even the raw cane sugar... but after 3 videos doing the same I thought I was wrong to be surprised. Glad I decided to watch one more. Yours. Now I will be checking out the pineapple one you mentioned.
why do you think it's wrong. the bacteria will consume it and you practically have no sugar left. they add it because it takes less time to start fermenting
My wife and I have made beer and wine for years this seams right up our alley thanks for the info.
We've make beer as well! Over on our homebrew channel - LeGourmetTV Brewhouse. In the coming weeks we'll have a video here where we turn beer into vinegar as well.
Cool would that be malt vinegar?
Technically -no- but a super close cousin. Because it has hops it's just beer vinegar; if you fermented the sweet wort without adding hops, and turned that into vinegar you'd have Malt Vinegar. Minor difference but it makes a huge flavour change.
This is such a great video and so informative and so helpful like lots of your videos, but please, I beg you, please lose the super distracting music.
Thank you very much for passing on your knowledge. After experiencing your detailed presentation, I feel well informed and confident that I can make my own ACV. I also want to commend you for answering so many questions in the comment section (even when they are from rude people). I'm going to check out more of your videos.
So refreshing to watch someone teach that actually knows something. Too many clowns on youtube spreading misinformation. Thank you sir.
Great recipe! Made several times but old old fashioned style - chopped and blended, loads of pulp stirring weekly! Then straining out 5+ pounds of pulp! Great family fun LOL! I really like your juicer method, gonna be working it in the near future - many thanks again!
We made it for years the way you describe - works very well.
I don't have an airlock. But I do own those rubber tops with the nipple. Would that work as well. I'd like to see an explanation on how to do in a blender or food processor as well if you have a link I'm not sure.
Your expaination is very well said. I've been making Wine, red wine vinegar and Hard apple cider and apple cider vinegar for many years. At first I added yeast and now only let the indigenous yeast do It's thing. I believe the much longer fermentation that natural yeast takes develops ( 2-4 months for cider) significantly more flavor. After the apple juice is fermented I add my live cider vinegar and 2 months later I have apple cider vinegar. . Also my active wine vinegar was also naturally made by a barrel of wine left untouched for 15 years, It does not develop the dreaded Cellulose mat that almost all live vinegar will produce. This was also used to make my first Apple cider vinegar.
Thank you, you clear up all my doubts about apple cider vinegar process. Very useful video, congratulations
Great video man...i just started making ACV this week. Thanks for sharing your know how!
Thank you! I've been watching several vinegar making videos on YT and even though I've never made vinegar, I have brewed beer, wine and mead and every video I watch doesn't make sense based on what I already know. Thanks for practical, straightforward guide to vinegar making. Subscribed.
At last, I found one video of ACV, that make sense.
Thank You, very much.
You are welcome! Come on back and let us know how it turns out.
Ob Server
You make it look very simple! I'm going to try
Thanks for clarifying the correct method. I suspected something was wrong with the other methods. My homemade vinegar was always so weak.
This is really well done with lots of explanations. Thank you.
Thank you! Answered so many unanswered questions!
This is the best video I’ve ever seen ! Smdh they literally tell you to put sliced apples into water and u have magic ! This is the best demonstration ever, and it makes perfect sense
Hi Glen! Thanks for the great video, just wondering if it's possible to avoid the airlock tool you used, so only closing up the container with a lid.
I am so thrilled that I came across your channel.
Thank you for providing so much detail 😊
Thank you for making things so simple.
Learn something new every day! Glad you put the kabosh on the music, you don't need that distraction.
Yours was the first Video i came across. I watched it all the way and thought great explanation clear and concise. Then i went and watched a few more videos and basically switched off straightaway. Came back to your video and subscribed. Thank you so much for your post. I will be following your method for real. Thumbs up!
Hi Glen, Montrealer living in Beijing. Love your videos. I just made an apple cider vinegar the wrong way, I am going to try your waynext , it seems so much more logical. Been making green and red tea Kambucha for many years. Thanks for sharing this, appreciate it.
Great video, thanks for sharing! I don't have access to an air lock type container... Do you have another recommendation? Could I sterilize a jar with a lid (glass lid maybe?) and use that for the first process? Thanks again!
Thank you for sharing, this kind of process I tried to find for long time now because it is really a 100% pure ACV. Love it but my only problem is where to buy that kind of a yeast you using if here in my country. God bless
I discovered the mother in my bottle of bought apple cider vinegar today and have been inspired to make a batch myself.... thanks for your video, very informative... and I get to use my fermentation jar!
Your explanation is very good and soluable. Today I have enjoyed your video. Many thanks to you.
Thanks
questions/what happened when adding sugar or date molasses to vinegar
I need clarification and chemical equations
Please do a white vinegar one to!! Thanks for this awesome recipe!
There is no anaerobic step, you're allowing it to breathe anyhow , you only use the airlock to protect it, but you can leave it uncovered and it will ferment with or without the yeast.... Good guide for starters
Every year we get so many apples off of our trees at our allotment we never know what to do with them all so thank you for the great idea! 😄
Apple wine
TL;DR: in both steps, save and reuse the slurry that's left behind, it's loaded with yeast and bacteria.
Nice, clear video. Two notes: the sludge that remains from the alcohol step is basically just a healthy yeast colony. You can pour more juice on top of it and keep it going. It's called a yeast slurry. In theory you can keep doing this forever, however the flavour characteristics might change over time so you want to refresh it now and then. Secondly, I think the mother you pulled out is just the pellicle. There are more bacteria in the sludge you said to throw away. I think the mother refers more to the liquid saturated with bacteria than the pellicle. Although I'm no vinegar maker, I have years of experience brewing kombucha and this seems to be very similar.
❤
No , mother is the pellicle
This was amazingly interesting! Looks difficult/complicated but would love to try someday!
It does really look complicated. But worth trying
It does really look complicated. But worth trying
Love all your videos. Thanks for this one!
Awesome as usual Glen. If you were making another, how does the mother fit into the next cycle?
Professional👍👍
Great Video... Is it at all possible to use two different types od yeasts together??? What would happen???
Good stuff, thanks so much
Was the music supposed to keep playing in the background?
I don't like the music. It's distracting and detracts from the video qualith. I like the old format with no music better.
Hey! I found you through your squeaky cheese curds video years ago, and found you again when looking how to make vinegar. (The curds were awesome. I made poutine for some family and everyone loved it)
Hi, thank you very much for sharing. I have a few questions to ask you. First of all, I did make some fermented fruits using rotten fruits from my hobby farm for ferterizer purpose. They do produce thick layer of mother. Can I use the same mother to make apple cider since the mother is from rotten fruits? And can I use Vita Mix to grind up the apples? When should I strain them if I grind up the apples using Vita Mix? Do I need to buy special containers from Wine making store to put the airlock on? Thank you again. I can't wait to try to make it when I get my harvest this Fall.
Great vid. Also to note, you could rerack fresh apple juice onto that trub without having to buy new yeast. While it would be best to 'wash' it, probably would work great.
Hello Glen!
Thanks for the video. Good idea to inoculate the juice with brewers yeast which I heard is called a "bottom" yeast ; to keep the flavours in.
Besides the flavour aspect, would using Baker's yeast be a really bad thing? Some even use this for quite decent tasting, homemade wines.
Nice idea to buy a small quantity of A C.V. for the acidobacter.
Nice presentation!
Bakers yeast makes a lovely prison wine, but not good for alcohol you would want to drink / distill in to vinegar.
Thank you. Your instructions are superior to anything else I've seen on youtube. I do have a couple of questions. You did not add any sugar when making the apple cider vinegar, while you added one whole block of piloncillo when making your pineapple vinegar. Was it because you thought the apples had an adequate level of sure and the pineapple did not? If the apples were not that sweet, should I add sugar, and how much? Thanks again.
I have idea how to make ACV 😊thank for sharing your videos... 😉
Wow I have the same juicer and yours is so clean!
Very well done step by step explanation. Ty 🙏
I've been toying around with the idea of making my own vinegar. I kept looking and looking for someone who knows how to make vinegar, and finally found you! I remember from my chemistry classes that you need alcohol to make vinegar, and all videos I've seen about making vinegar on TH-cam have been people talking about how the fermentation of fruits needs to "breathe"... NO! Alcohol is not made in an aerobic environment. That's my measure to see if they know what they are talking about. :P lol
I am so excited to make ACV this way! I came across a used juicer, and have put it to good use! Thanks for the great video!
Definitely wait until the first alcohol ferment is finished.
@@GlenAndFriendsCooking Yes, I watched again and saw that at that point you added the vinegar with the mother. I am also making Pear cider vinegar!
Thanks so much for all you do!
Great video. I have just started making my own vinegars (today) and I wished that I had watched your video first. Next time I make apple cider vinegar I will be sure to blend up the apples to start off with. Great explanation of the vinegar making process.
I'm excited to start a batch now.
Been waiting all year for my apple tree to be ready for harvesting to give this a go, it’s defiantly doable with a blender but a lot more work, just started it today and I’ll post how the final result turns out! :D
At last someone who knows the proper way! I don't like following amateurs who sort of half-know what they're doing. Thank you so much and I'm a subscriber now, of course!
Hello Glenn. I made pineapple cider vinegar following your video. Although I added brewer's yeast, I did not notice any activity Although I am certain I used clean reverse osmosis water. What could have gone wrong? Could it be too much sugar?
You are a pleasure to watch! Good science, well explained.
Thank you for the video, I saw this too late. Have been trying with other methods and already have one batch . I have a question , I didn't add yeast and chopped apples and put in water, should I close the lid, or should I put a paper towel ? After straining I know I should just put paper towel, but I used the other method and unfortunately it is one step. I am trying to understand yours since you add yeast and closed the top, should I do the same?
I enjoy the video. I would like to know do you have a video showing you starting a new batch using the mother
Hi , thank you for uploading such a great video. Before watching this video I have started to make an apple cider vinegar and it’s been 15days, I have keep the apple juice in a big jar without adding anything. And cover the mouth of the jar with cheese cloth. So, my question is can I add the yeast now ? And I have a thick surface on the top of the apple juice and it’s little alcohol smell.
The best. Super recipe. Thanks for share.
This is the best ACV video out there. Thanks for sharing. Do we need to sterilize the equipment (juicer, blender, glassware, etc.) before we start? How much should we worry about that when making vinegar for consumption?
Hello Glen,
Apples are imported here in Malaysia. They have wax on them. Do I need to get rid of the wax before juicing the apples? Do you have any suggestion in getting rid of the wax if it is needed? Thanks in advance.
Holy Canoli.. I must have watched 15 or more videos about DYI APV before I braved the waters of making my own, which I regret to say began earlier this evening. As luck would have it, I happened to stumble upon your video while closing some tabs at the end of the evening to discover that I've simply tossed the dice when it comes to how my vinegar will taste. Not living in a rural environment, I have to say that my expectations aren't very high. Eh... it's my first batch. I shouldn't feel so precious about it. It's just that when a person puts in a dozen or more hours of research to give something their best shot, it's kind of disappointing to learn that the fundaments eluded them until after they were committed to a less-than-optimal procedure.
Good news is, now that I've watched your video, I can take what I've learned here and enjoy a much greater chance of success. I'll make a trip to a local brewing supply store for some materials & yeasts and before long, I'll have a few more jars fermenting ..and vinegar'ing...! Thanks for posting this most informative video!
Have you been keeping up with it?
@@mattbuszko No.. not really. That first wild ferment actually came out very good. I did buy yeasts from a brewing company in my area, but the packets I didn't use have been sitting in my fridge for about a year now.
I made two more batches, each was weaker than the one before as I experimented with adding fewer apples and "compensating" by adding slightly more brown sugar (I was trying to "get rid" of a few pounds of it that I had left in my pantry). All-in-all, all three batches were good, but not as strong as store-bought. I've since found an organic ACV at my local produce store that's very reasonably priced, so I stopped making my own. I've also stopped consuming as much of it as I had in the beginning. Altogether, I made three batches, each made about a gallon. Were I to make another batch now, I just wouldn't try to make do with a single bag of apples.
Great video, thank you. I made the vinegar and it tastes wonderful. My question is about how to replenish the vinegar as it is used. I have a large gallon size container with a spigot. As I use it do I add more apple juice or apple juice with mother, etc...??
THIS is the video for apple cider making I’ve been looking for. I’ve been perplexed that most videos ignore the key word “cider” and don’t actually use apple juice or the two step vinegar process
Glen, can you save the "mother" for a time? Does it dry out? Can it be used somehow for next season?
The music in the background is extremely annoying and hysterical
I used this technique to make ACV. I'm straining the pulp for the second stage. Oh, by the way. I'm making about 2.5 gallons! Is there anything I can use the leftover pulp for? It smells so good it would be sad to have to pitch it.
The best video, inspired me to make it.
Wow, this was so good. Kind of reminds me of my wine-making days; I guess this is the next step in a natural progression ;-)
Hi, i got 2 questions. 1. Why is my acv turned from light brown(normal acv color) into dark brown i left it just on countertop. Im afraid to drink it.
2. I bought an acv in some supermarket, forgot to use it until it produces its own monther, but after opening it the jelly like mother on top sunk at the bottom. Is that thing dead or i can still use it as a starter? Thank you
Do you suggest storing in the refrigerator after it’s done or on the counter at room temperature
Great video! I cannot find airlock lid though. Can I do the first step just by using a normal jar with its lid?
You always have good stuff from old recipes old cook books 👍👍👍👍
Great video.. thank you for uploading
Hi Glen... If I could bother you one more time for the yeast to liquid ratio I will be all set. Thank you for your help with my batch today. It made a huge difference. Regards, A very happy subscriber.
If you are using beer / wine yeast ¼ tsp per 1L - but I hardly ever measure. You just need a little bit to get the process started.
I'm trying your method~thank you for sharing..
So glad you scrapped the music bed.
Turns out I like my Glen neat.
Very informative video. Thank you
I can't tell you how many videos I've watched on making apple cider vinegar. I can't tell you how glad I am that I found this video. If I don't have one of those air lock things can I just a coffee filter?
Unfortunately a coffee filter isn't ideal - you need to create an environment without Oxygen or at least low Oxygen for the yeast to work at their best. The airlocks at a homebrew store are about $2 so pretty cheap, and they last forever. (On Amazon though there are places trying to sell the same thing for $40... so don't be fooled)
I'm actually going by a home brew store today. I'll pick one up. Thanks
Same counts for me, I already knew the principle of vinegar making. But basically every other video just throws chunks of apple in water and let it sit. This way of first making an alcoholic base and then making vinegar is the true way, personally I'm all for naturally fermentation, but that's totally personal.
@@GlenAndFriendsCooking if I can't find it here where I live, will Mason jar lid work if I put the apples inside the Mason jar? I mean really close the lid tightly to prevent the air from coming in. Will it work?
Never - tightly close the lid! You'll just end up with a potential explosion as pressure builds up. If you can't find an airlock; just screw the mason jar lid on 3/4 of the way so that it still wiggles.
Thank you for making this video. i have a question ? what can we do with the mother? can we eat it raw? since you said it has healthy benefits...?
Thank you so much. Appreciate
Hi Glen. Thanks for the great video. Could I start with juice that I steamed from apples??
Hi there, I made acv exactly as you show and it came out very good however, it’s not really strong as usual acv it’s quite mild. What could cause this?
Thank you.
this was really good !!! i have a bunch of bottles of self made cider that for some reason got a bitter flavour in time and want to turn them into vinegar. Is the room temperature really ok for cider -> vinegar process? i have a basement room with constant 8-10 degrees celsius in any season and i am wondering if slower process at that temperature would be ok
That was the best Apple cider vinegar video I ever seen.
Are there any nutritional or taste benefits to using homemade ACV as opposed to store-bought?
