Thanks for watching! Here's my tutorial for making homemade broth-- another pantry staple that costs PENNIES to create! czcams.com/video/dCn1oC63TTw/video.html
You also might be able to use that stronger vinegar for killing weeds ... the homemade weed killers use 30% acidity.
Do you use this homemade vinegar to clean with
Alternative to glass weight is water in a sealed plastic bag or a flat rock in a sealed bag.
I have some glass weights similar to hers, they become slimy and are almost impossible to remove. So I put them in a plastic bag now, and that works really well.
@@amandahuginkiss6868 Hm,... plastic should be avoided esp. in acidic solutions.
You can add a little to the chickens' water every time you change it. It helps their digestion, getting more nutrients out of the food they eat. You can also soak their food a day or two ahead, adding a squirt of this viable vinegar to that soaking water. Thank you for an excellent and informative video. I have several half gallon jars brewing my first batch right now!
I use apple cider vinegar rinse for conditioner on my hair once a week. Great for your scalp, getting rid of build up and it makes hair super soft. Smell goes away after your hair dries. Just don't get it into your eyes! Ouch!!
Absolutely! I tried this recently and it is amazing! I was with home made soap, rinse, then use a mix of vinegar and water, then rinse. My hair stays cleaner for longer, looks shinier, smells nice, feels softer, and is less frizzy and oily. Its amazing! I'll never use shampoo and conditioner to wash my hair again!
Well In retrospect, you won't get pink eye.. im actually being serious :)
I do this too, it's very essential for my dreadlocks otherwise I get some gnarly buildup and my dreads will unravel.
I believe it would blind you.
I use apple cider vinegar as a rinse as well, but when I washed my hair last week I made my own homemade shampoo and it really stripped and cleaned my hair beyond my expectations, I just added the vinegar to my homemade shampoo instead of doing the vinegar rinse.
-Black soap
-2tsp apple cider vinegar with the mother
-Few drops of peppermint oil
-Few drops of rosemary oil
- 1tsp vegetable glycerin
And there you go, know the measurements vary depending on the amount of hair you have but as far as the vinegar, 2tsp should be enough because your only applying the shampoo mainly on the scalp. And don’t forget to use a conditioner after, the rinse it out then use a leave In conditioner.❤️
Vinegar is also good for cleaning metal things that have rusted. Just put it in a glass jar and completely cover it with vinegar. Wait for a week or so, take out and rinse. Rust gone. Then a light coating of oil to guard against new rust.
That's how i clean my grill grates when they rust
watching this because I use SO MUCH apple cider vinegar, I use it as an aftershave for my legs/everything, to rinse soap out of my dreads, in my dogs water, to clean my house(I mix it with hydrogen peroxide), to wash clothes. I'm like dang, I need to make this myself 😅🤣
Thanks for the video. When im in Oregon theres lots of apple trees growing in the wild. This video will come in handy
I add apple scraps to the roots my pineapple plants...makes them sweeter
The best part was the chickens eating the apple peels. Thanks Jill!
Also did you use organic apples?
I really loved that too
I'm sure they got a buzz 😂😂😂
Very impressive. Nothing go to waste. I love to see your young daughter in video helping. Great job.
You can use it half'n'half with dishwashing liquid, in a spray bottle, spray it on your shower, leave 5 mins, then scrub with a little water and a scotchbrite, and rinse off. It's an amazing cleaner and holds mold at bay longer.
Tks for saying WHY we can't use the vinegar for canning. 👍✝️❤️🙏
ACV also makes a good foot bath too! The chickens were hilarious with the apple peels, yes spaghetti, chickens are awesome!
I'm making apple vinegar for the first time. I'm so excited. A week and a half in and all looks good.
You can also use this scrap vinegar in refrigerator pickle recipes that are intended to be used up in a short amount of time, or as a hair rinse diluted with water.
you probably already know this, but you can also make pectin. takes a long time though. mom used to use it in her jams - she canned applesauce, apple butter, apple jelly and froze the rest in wedges for pies.
How?
You can use the vinegar to make home made fabric softener I use it and it works great on clothes and towels and it’s chemical free
The GF and I made our apple cider vinegar in a kraut crock and put the finished 1.5 gl in .5 gl jrs....Was real happy to have it turn out
Thanks so much Jill, can't wait to give this a try! It's good to be living in Australia for this kind of thing as fermenting takes half the time because it's so darn hot here!
Living in a hot place definitely as advantages when you're fermenting!
Awesome, thanks for this diy.
I have been using apple vinegar for 18 years to rinse my long hair after washing, hair guaranteed to be shiny and in top Olympic shape.
I do this with pineapple peel too.
Most excellent double use of scraps! Thank you, Jill!
I made it for the first time like a month ago. It was my first apple cider vinegar and it is so easy and nice. I enjoyed a lot watching the bubbling. I used the peels of Mandarine to create a little jar of vinegar I use for dressins. Thanks for your always clear videos.
OOh, ooh, what a great idea!
Thanks, watched your video with my three young daughters who are excited to make homemade vinegarand they said your video was, "really fun!"😄
Great project and use of scraps. I use left over peels and cores to make a lovely pink apple jelly. It was a recipe my grandmother, Ruth, used to make.
Could you please share the recipe?
My husband says the best peach jelly he's ever had was made from peach peelings!
Great tutorial Jill and great point at the end about maybe not using it for canning. We like to add some kombucha to our vinegar at the beginning to give it a boost, and we've found it helps prevent mould even without a weight. We make ours in a 5 gallon plastic pail and keep adding apple scraps to it.
thanks, Jill; i picked 2 bushel of apples yesterday; and have 12 quarts of pie filling ready to cook, i saved my peels and cores, put them in a clean 5 gallon pail. it's my first time trying this, thanks for the tips.
Short and sweet tutorial!!! Will try
I took the leaving and mashed them through a strainer. I put the peels in the compost and used the mash in oatmeal cookies. Yum! (I also squeeze the toothpaste tube until absolutely nothing can remain.)
Can I make it without sugar ?
discovered making vinegar thru your page here as well as a few other people's do now I'm in a small scale vinegar making binge. I just strained apple, pear, and chai tea a couple of days ago. over the weekend, I will be straining grape, cranberry, and cranberry-apple. going to start orange and rice this weekend.
Jill, I thank you for the informative video and covering all the do's and dont's of the process.
I think you are one amazing lady. I enjoy your newsletter on a regular basis - but appreciate the opportunity within this format to give another shout-out of appreciation for all you do and all you share and for the simple, enlightening and elegant way you do share. (Once I recall you asked for votes on format preferences - I still am a fan of the written word more than the video'd word - but here there is a conducive way to respond.)
Just a heads up. Its relatively easy to test the acidity of your vinegar
Literally just use a PH testing strip thats made for testing water
A PH of 2.4 usually equals out to 5% acidity. The lower the PH the more acidic the vinegar is.
Thank you for this. I just made a jar for the first time and I’m excited to see how it turns out.
Not sure but I think you can get strips to measure the acid level
So many good uses. I think most of my vinegar goes to cleaning and fabric softener uses. I have not heard of using it for hair conditioner. Huh! Who knew?
Keeps ants away, germinates seeds, cleans plant pots and burnt kitchen pots, its a herbicide, keeps fruit fly away, preserves cut flowers, gets rid of slugs and snails, cleans brass and coins, neutralizes the spray on veg too.
Thank you so much, I really appreciate a clear and concise video. I also appreciate that you said to give the fruit scraps to the animals or to put them in the compost and not in the trash.
Great presentation. Thanks for the information.
Thank you for a very clearly explained technique! I've done this once (learning from another video calling it apple cider vinegar), and gave up because I thought I must have done something wrong because it did NOT come out like ACV. Now I know the difference! I'll try again.
Get a freeze dryer girl!! You'll love it 😀
Seeing the chicken chow down on the peels made me smile! Great video thank you :)
Great video. Clear. Easy to follow. Well done.
Awesome. Can't wait to start making some.. Thanks
LindasCinema has a video that shows you how to test the vinegar. So I’m excited that we can use this vinegar if it’s acid is high enough. So easy to test. Now that I know. Thanks to Jill and Linda. ❤️
You can make Fire Cider with the vinegar. That's what I do.
Thanks I'm new to your channel and learning lots !
Excellent, Thank you for this video. Actually, we really enjoy them all.
Thanks for watching!
Yesss best use of scraps 🥰🥰🥰
Back in the fall i got a bunch of apples from my boss, i work at a nursery, and made apple pie and apple cider vinegar
Brilliant thank you, I'm on the Vinegar making, cheers
I use some on my hair after shampooing.....it makes it so soft!
A good use for large quantities of ACV is to make the drink called "Shrub"
I made mine from cubed apples,sugar and pickling spices to taste in a jar,then fill up with ACV.
It will ferment so don't seal the jar until you are sure it stops bubbling.
Surprisingly delicious and probiotic too....
I use the vinegar for making elderberry shrubs for my husband and I! Super refreshing, healthy natural like soda!
This was so helpful. Thank you!
Love this! Thanks for sharing! It makes me miss our chickens too!
Funny thing, I just made dehydrated apples, but not to worry there will be more. I only dehydrate them when they get too mushy for my taste. When dehydrated the mushy over ripe apples turn into pantry candy! Have a great day.
Yes! My kids think the dehydrated ones are candy. ;)
looks like a nice recipe Jill.
Great info!!
Another great video. Thanks so much.
Excellent !!!! Thank you soooooo much !!!! Love it !! Wonderful explanation !!!!
Thank you for sharing
Vinegar is great for cleaning up rusty tools. Just let them soak for a few days in a bucket with water and vinegar. Washing windows, just use in a spray bottle, wipe clean with newspaper for no streak clean windows. Vinegar in a container that has hard water deposits will dissolve those hard water deposits, just let it soak. Disciplining cats so they don't scratch your furniture, just use a little vinegar mixed into a water spray bottle they will learn without getting hurt.
Tons and tons of uses for vinegar. Many videos on what vinegar can be used for.
..
Pick up some vinegar acidic strips online to test if concerned about acidy count.
wish I lived down the road from you, thanks for helping me become such a momma. 😂
I love your videos! I'm so glad I found your channel!
Glad you're enjoying them!
I use the cores and peels to make apple jelly. It’s delicious! But I’m going to give this a try next! 😁
Wow!! Waste not what not. I love it. I will have to remember this for next apple 🍎 season. Unfortunately ours did not do good this year.
Such a good idea. I made Apple Scrap jelly this year.
super cool going to have to try this
Thanks for the recipe great idea of using our left over apple scraps since we make lots of applesauce. Another option is to make apple jelly from the scraps check online for the recipe.
Thanks for this!
i bet those vinegar apple scraps are good for the chickens, since it's so packed with fermented and probiotic things. not to mention acetic acid.
Well done!
Omg I love this . I need to jump on board and do it . Especially with everything going to shit . I can totally see stores not carrying it .
Thanks for sharing, Jill. 👍
Hope your chickens, goats and cows are ok after feasting on the peels.🤔
There was a curious case, years ago of cattle dying of bloating after farmers in New Zealand fed their animals with surplus kiwi fruits from the orchard.😁
Great video Jill, that vinegar looks awesome. Im making some apple cider vinegar now but want to try the pear vinegar this summer...thanks for sharing your recipe.
Great and inspirative video, I'm about to craft my first bottle of ATV B-) Thank you for your guide and tips.
Keep up the good work
Thank you.
Great video!
I liked the chickens too, "bok- bok -bok- bok." :
Those chickens love that!
Excellent video. Apple Cider Vinegar is great for health. One thing to consider though - apples are rich in sugar, esp. fructose, a top culprit in fatty liver, tooth decay, high levels of insulin, and hence metabolic syndrome (incl. obesity & type 2 diabetes). See Dr. Steven Gundry's books (Plant paradox; Energy Paradox; Longevity Paradox) and Dr. David Perlmutter's books.
soak it in herbs like lavender and do a hair soak so good for the hair ♡
Easy! Thank you..... Liked, Subbed and Saved.
I wish I had seen this sooner. I'm going to do this tomorrow after I make a batch of applesauce!!!
Excellent❤
Great video Thank you
Question: would the sugar in the fruit not be enough for the yeast during the fermentation process?
Or reuse them before composting or chickens or pigs
Hi Jill
Love your presentation. I like to try to make your method but I have some questions
Do I have to stirning everyday ? Because I saw some one doing that to prevent from mold buildup
What is the room temperature good during process? I’m live in chicago and the winter my kitchen is cold because I don’t have heater in the kitchen
Thank you and please have a happy holidays
pH test strips can give assurance; I'd be interested in:
how to clarify vinegars,
when is it safe /ok to close the lid & store vinegar?
how to increase the acidity of vinegar for various uses, or just concentrate it for storage.
(there's a german 25% brand that is neutral & great to work with, sparingly)
good video! they usually call that 'stuff on the top' scum 🤗
If you can your slices in simple syrup you can just blend them for delicious apple sauce with out the cooking method.
Heads up vinegar with 4% is on the shelves now so please read the jugs and be sure it’s 5%
I know what you can do with some of that apple cider. Turn it in to Fire Cider! Great for cod and flu season.
Wonderful!!! How long does it last in the fridge? Wish I had a root cellar
However long vinegar lasts. A year? Forever? Somewhere in that zone.
No need for the fridge. If it gets above 5% acidity it will age like a wine. It will only get better and never go bad.
@@gustavinus is there a way to check if it's above a certain level of acidity? 🤗 (Sorry if this is a silly question, I'm new to all this!!)
@@Msesmith2 I guess you can use a simple PH strip. Normal white vinegar usually measures around PH 2.4 and has 5% acidity. The lower the PH, the more acid it is. At PH 7 is not acid anymore and above that it is a basic solution. So I guess you can aim for around ph 2.4 (you can dilute in distilled water if needed). I think you need at least ph 4.0 or lower for it to be safe. There are more complex tests you can do to find out the exact acidity. Not sure about the max acidity though (there is a maximum to be edible as well).
Love the T shirt
This is a great video - thank you! :) I have been making apple scrap vinegar for years, but just thought about the possibility of using it in the laundry instead of white vinegar. What do you think about that idea?
I’m interested in that also
I do it, I add dried thyme, lavender, Eucalyptus, etc in bottles and strain after a couple of weeks. It is pure magic!!
Make sure you read the labels on vinegar now. Manufacturers are reducing their products from 5% down to 4%.
