My Halal Kitchen post on vinegar, where Smith offers input in the comments: myhalalkitchen.com/the-vinega...
Reggie Smith's instructions for simple homemade wine vinegar:
Buy any wine and then add 1/2 teaspoon of 3% hydrogen peroxide (standard drug store strength) to the full bottle (standard 750mL wine bottle), shake a few times to mix and wait a couple of minutes. The sulfites are gone! For best results, cut the wine with 1 part wine to 1 part water; vinegar has difficulty forming over 10% ABV and wine that ferments in-bottle usually has to have a lot of alcohol evaporate out first. Then add about 8 oz of unfiltered vinegar (with live mother), cover with breathable fabric of paper towel, and let sit. In a few weeks, you should have vinegar with a mother on the surface! - Jak na to + styl
I love how Reginald accidentally made vinegar and decided "well, this is my career now." Long may you prosper, Reginald.
We don't make mistakes, just happy little accidents!
I'm tryna have that kinda mindset ong
🖖🏼
He seem like a cool guy, hes got a like pioneer attitude. Try new things and stick with what works
It's such a story. "I tried making wine and it came out really bad, so I make vinegar now"
"Mother of vinegar" sounds like something Adam would yell when he stubs his toe

Our ancestor found the same spoiled sugary syrup - and all of them, across great distances, with no connection to one another - all decided "I'm gonna taste that.", and the rest is culinary history.
😅😂
Really speaks to just how awful food used to be.
Not to be negative about your comment, but the truth is back in the ancestry world, those people did use ships to cross a count thousands of miles to make a global world exist back then. The only difference now is that we have airplanes. But still back then 4000 years ago, the entire world was connected.
@@dragonbolic2468 Look into the Nephilim and Giants, lol seriously. Look at the ancient megalithic structures around the planet. Bible is true.
@@EQOAnostalgia The idea of the Nephilim and giants is a biblical concept that appears in the Book of Genesis in the Old Testament. According to the Bible, the Nephilim were a race of giant beings who lived on Earth before the Flood. They are described as the offspring of the "sons of God" and the "daughters of men." The exact nature of the Nephilim and their relationship to other beings on Earth is a subject of debate and interpretation.
In some religious traditions, the Nephilim are seen as supernatural beings with divine or supernatural origins, while in others, they are viewed as a race of mortals with exceptional strength and size.
As for the existence of megalithic structures around the planet, it is true that there are many ancient ruins and monuments that demonstrate the architectural and engineering prowess of past civilizations. These structures include Stonehenge in England, the pyramids in Egypt, and the Mayan pyramids in Central America, among others.
However, the idea that these structures were built by giants or supernatural beings is not supported by mainstream archaeology and anthropology. Instead, these structures are typically attributed to the ingenuity, skill, and determination of the human societies that built them, using the tools and technologies available to them at the time.
In conclusion, the idea of the Nephilim and giants is a religious concept with roots in the Bible, and while it has inspired much speculation and debate, it is not supported by scientific evidence. The ancient megalithic structures around the planet are impressive achievements of human societies and demonstrate the ingenuity and creativity of our ancestors, but there is no evidence to suggest that they were built by giants or supernatural beings.
Lol I really like Reginald, he's awesome. He might not initially _seem_ like he's all that excited about what he does, but it's clear by the end this guy absolutely lives and breathes all things vinegar (well, maybe not breathe, that might end poorly :| )
when i first heard his name and saw the book I was like ooooh okay so we got a super super old book telling us the old ways of making wine written by a dude who died like 200 years ago. imagine my shock when reginald pops up on the screen and looks to be in his mid-30s, early 40s. at first I was wondering if maybe he was a distant descendent or something hahaha
I then wonder how many drink vinegar right out the bottle? Love the stuff I do

Thanks mr bean

I love how Reginald, with a straight face, says "it tasted absolutely horrible".
Yeah, because the sensible thing to do would have been to make a maple rum by distilling that shit, but (assuming Reginald lives in the US,) you can't do that without getting all sorts of licenses, (unlike microbrewing and winemaking.)
@@RamadaArtist im all for small government, but if you are going to be distilling volatile stuff in any semilarge fashion, its extremely sensible you are required a license beforehand
edit: didnt know it was also the case for water stills, on hindsight, yeah, probably the licenses should be way looser
@@AnonymousGentooman A single still requires registration, so even if you just want to make, like, a couple gallons of booze to last the year, the ATF gets all up in your shit.
[edit] I accidentally wrote "FDA" initially, thinking, "Firearms, Drugs and Alcohol," which is dramatically incorrect... I've been awake for a while. [/edit]
@@AnonymousGentooman This is the case, literally, even if all you're doing with it is distilling water so that you can have, say, purified water.
@@RamadaArtist Is that actually the law or is that just the ATF making stuff up? I know they basically make up firearm rules, but I don't know if that's a bureau wide attitude.
This is one of the best things CZcams and Google have ever collaborated to suggest to me because I definitely googled "WTF is vinegar" a week ago after being high and wondering. Reginald, this level of geeking out is absolutely admirable. May your vinegar empire rule the Vinegarverse.

This is right up my alley. We usually buy a bottle of Jack Daniels Honey-Flavored Bourbon and a few Madagascar vanilla beans once a year and make our own vanilla. We split four of the vanilla beans length-wise, pop them into the bourbon bottle, seal it back up and put it into the basement for a year. Throughout the year, when we are in the basement food-store area we give it a shake. When we start a new one, we take last year's up to the kitchen and start using it. It makes a HUGE difference in your baked goods. People are always asking for the recipe but when you tell them it takes a year to make the vanilla, they sigh and reserve themselves to never be able to make good baked goods.
Today my wife bought a cheap bottle of Sutter Home Merlot and we started our red-wine vinegar. I'm happy it only takes a few weeks to get the results.
dang, gonna have to look into this more and try it for sure!!
psh
I can really appreciate the fact that Reginald doesn’t blink and his humor seems very particular. I could totally kick it with him!
Half the history of food & drink is people forgetting something, coming back to it later and seeing that something happened to it lol. Imagine if we had a perfect memory and would never waste any fresh food.

I find the similarities fascinating between the horticulture world and brewing world.
A "mother" to a plant is one that you grow specifically for the sole purpose of producing clones.
And the fact that the same thing goes for batches of bacterial growths and cultures, that's pretty cool.
right? I don't drink but I DO love horticulture and it makes me really appreciate it.
I literally had a jar of wine sitting in my cupboard for half a year with no results...then I came across this and watered it down a touch. Literally 3 DAYS later I check on it and found a mother growing on the top. Thanks!

Reginald knows his stuff, it’s good to see that someone researched so much whilst starting of his business...
I'm sure that is a factor in why he is still in business lol.
it seems more than just a business to him lol hes very passionate
Vinegar is a "business" to Reginald the way basketball was a "business" to guys like Michael Jordan and Kobe Bryant.
Christ knows how many chuclebuckets open a business and have no proper model or structure
It’s refreshing seeing such passion about jobs we don’t really think about or consider lol! Niches for all of us
5:00 I gotta admit, that transition was INCREDIBLY smooth lol. This video was awesome, idk how I've never found your channel before. Smacked that sub button.
That has to be the smoothest, relevant, and topical ad transition I have ever seen in my life.

My brother in law is Reginald, Reg, yes pretty nerdy buzz kill for the last 35 years!
I appreciate that you cover the layman's explanation, the chemistry, and the history in a lot of your videos.
I've been making red-wine and Traditional balsamic for 20 years and produced over 500 gallons over time. My Red-wine live vinegar does not produce a cellulose mat that people call mother. So my take is Mother is really only live Acetabactor and cellulose does not need to be present. On Traditional Balsamic. You first crush and press wine grape then heat to reduce and make a 40% sugar must. Ferment this into very sweet wine. Add this and redwine vingar to the first and biggest barrel in the battery. This process is repeated each year.
It's really fun to see what acetic acid can do when it gets well beyond the concentrations he referred to by 'it will burn your mouth pretty bad'. Laboratory "glacial acetic acid" will eat through concrete faster than most sulfuric acid solutions you'll find. So, it's sorta like nightmare vinegar.
so concrete and brick cleaner? sounds useful
@@NeuKrofta At glacial and above concentrations, it's fairly tightly controlled.

I remember that one time I accidentally made apple cider vinegar by forgetting an open bag of apple slices in my bag. I felt proud for some reason
It's like you stumbled into a satisfying little microbiology experiment. Ah, the thrill of discovery!

Proud because you re-discovered an important part of humanity's advancement. Proud to be part of that great history. Sure, it wasn't forgotten or something, but you repeated the accident, by accident, that discovered it in the first place. If we didn't have it yet, you'd be the one (probably) to have made this discovery.
@@midgetydeath Wow, thanks. That really made me feel awesome XD Maybe in a different timeline apple cider vinegar was truly discovered by a 16 year old girl who was too lazy to clean out their backpack lol

This has been your white wine report.
Thank you, keep up the good work
There is a fairly common replacement for Malt Vinegar in the UK known as "Non-Brewed Condiment" that is basically just water, acetic acid and some flavoring/colour. Though you're legally not allowed to call it vinegar and restaurants can't put it in "traditional" vinegar bottles, it is one of those places where non-brewed vinegars are legal to sell for human consuption.
That reminds me of the "frozen dessert" stuff you see cheap ice creams use a lot here in the states, because there's just straight up not a high enough cream to milk ratio to call it legally Ice Cream.
yes and this version is halal because it has no alcohol content
It’s halal because it doesn’t have alcohol in it, which is another advantage of it.

When a bottle says “with the mother” it really skeeves me out
I took the stopper off the top of my apple cider vinegar because it was taking ridiculously hard shakes to get a few drops out. I forgot about that and poured a whole bunch of vinegar on to my salad along with the mother at the bottom of the bottle.

Awesome vid.. good job Adam and Reginald
In France it used to be very common to have something called a "vinaigrier", a kind of pot made of stoneware, ceramic or clay, or a small barrel, with a small tap at the bottom, used by the common people to make their own vinegar at home.
It is still fairly common in the countryside. Since people used too drink wine regularly, especially in the countryside, in farmhouses etc, and wine is so common in France, it is a people's drink (as well as a fancy drink, like in the US. There's always been all kinds of wine), people put their wine leftovers in it all year long and have a constant supply of their own vinegar.
You can still buy them new or pre-owned, it's a nice item often made by artisans, and is still fairly common in certain traditional households. It's also popular in the autonomists movement (people that want to regain their individual and local autonomy or part of it and do not want to rely solely on consumerism). Since it is made by craftsman, it's also common place to see it as a decorative item by people who don't use it, and often got it from their ancestors.
It's also easy to buy a mother from individuals on the web, especially, again, in the countryside, to put in your vinaigrier.
Now lookin both for a vinaigrier and an autononomist group ...

This was fascinating! Fun fact: in film photography, the stop bath used to arrest the development process is often a type of acetic acid. It smells like brutally strong vinegar.
The smell makes sense considering acetic acid is the "active ingredient" of vinegar in the same sense that ethanol is the active ingredient in booze. (Sure you have a water carrier and some aromatic organic compounds for flavor but the key ingredient that defines them are acetic acid and ethanol respectively).
That smell would always make me hungry back during my photography classes years ago; the dark room smelled amazing.
Stop bath literally is Acetic Acid, but in an ≈8% concentration

I love Supreme Vinegar's operation, it seems so DIY, you know he is using natural stuff and also it tastes great!
This was a great video. More than I was looking to learn. It gave me many paths to look into. Very nice job.
Modenese here, i have multiple times tasted very aged vinegars, up to 25 years. The flavor is amazing. After many years in the barrels it doesn't even taste acid anymore, it's bitter sweet and very fruity
I know you posted this a year ago. But may I ask, does Modena still sell what it's considered "fake" balsamic vinegar (grape must mixed with wine vinegar) or do you guys only have and sell the real stuff (only grape must as the main ingredient aged 12+ years)? Here in the states it is extremely difficult and near impossible to find the real stuff so all we have is grape must mixed with wine vinegar and the enthusiast call it "fake".
@@iTakeCash yes in Italy in general you can find the fake stuff, is actually fine for salads
you need to search for the "Aceto Balsamico tradizionale di Modena". And if it's really cheap, it's probably fake. Brands like Ponti sell fake vinegar. To be 100% sure you need to go to an "Acetaia", litterally meaning the "place where vinegar is made"
The balsamic vinegar is considered a very luxurious commodity, so I can imagine that it's not gonna be an easy find
Where can we get the real stuff?
Adam I actually DO put vinegar in my coffee (or at least the water I use to brew coffee)!
Because the water where I live is slightly basic once it is filtered, I have to add a slight amount of vinegar (I use distilled white) to bring it back to a neutral pH. If I don't, it neutralizes all the acid in my coffee and I am left with an extremely bland, bitter cup!
That's big brained
Does the water go around in Ugg boots drinking pumpkin spice lattes?
for myself, i find a lot of the coffee i buy is too acidic, and i prefer the taste if i add calcium hydroxide to the brew
man that reminds me of tea
I love how this ties cooking and history/biology together thesw are my favorite subjects
Regarding the end of your video, I have a friend who tried putting some balsamic vinegar in his coffee / mixing it with espresso, and he liked it so much he made that a regular order at his local coffee shop.
I tried it and it’s not bad. If you like kombucha or other acidic drinks, it’s worth a try.

That was the best transition to an ad I’ve ever seen. Seriously.
I learned so much from this, thanks much
it never ceases to amaze me how many foodstuffs inventions seem to come about by the process of "oh, hey, what is this weird thing that appeared on my food which I left out for some time? let's taste it! oh, it's horrible, what can I do to still use/eat it but avoid the horribleness?"
that's like, totally against the instinct for which the sense of taste developed.
also how much of the foodstuff processes contains some kind of "the food is basically getting bad and eaten by bacteria, but in a very specific way that transforms it into something edible for different reasons. it's like the ancient version of finding a years old leftover chip behind the couch except instead of just eating it (even with all the molds) you eat half of it, and try to cook the other half in 5 different ways to find out which one makes you the least sick, and then you try dropping the crumbs into other foods to see what will happen with them in few more months.
jeez, ancient people had so much time on their hands.
also realizing that the fancy "fermentation" word just means "drop the right kind of dirt in there and let it spoil in the right way, because what you're after is the poop of the bacteria in that dirt" is a huge breakthrough.
That's basically what everyone does in uni. I know a guy who kept open cheese for a week. It went blue. His cupboard also smells of mold cause of the bread. I've made interesting cocktails with flat prosecco that had been left out lol.
They were starving bro...
@@ee2610 i personally, if given the choice of starving to death or poisoning myself so that i puke my innards out, and THEN starve to death...
...i would choose just the plain old starving to death.
Actually, partially fermented fruits, in particular, are a great source of nutrients that are hard to find otherwise (or something like that). PBS Eons released a video about the development of our ability to taste sourness, if you wanna check it out.
Look, if you're starving you're not going to throw anything away. Period. Everything after that is learning tricks to enjoy what you've got left. The only thing you have in surplus is your own labor.

Fun fact about the sulfites. I learned this because my wife is allergic to it. The process of making the wine and even some beers it causes sulfites to form naturally. If there is a certain percentage of sulfites in the wine it must be labeled on the bottle. There is at least one product I've seen that is out there that helps filter the sulfites out.
Did you make your own wine and your wife got sick?
@@BigBodyBiggolo nah its just in pretty much all wines because it naturally forms from the production process. She wasn't sure why her joints got inflamed when drinking certain alcohols then a while later we found out there's sulfites in it. She knew from a young age she's allergic to all types of sulfa, sulfites, sulfer etc... but we didn't know that certain alcohol had it. It causes minor joint pain so her doctor said to not drink at all or drink til you can't feel it.
@@frost68nskate Ohh like that.
Lol "or drink till you cant feel it" i like that doctor.
I mean, do it like in the video. Add some Hydrogen peroxide to it.
The sulfides react, forming sulfur dioxide, which then leaves the bottle.
Wait a bit before your drink it. Like an hour or so, I don't know how much sulfides are in wine and how fast the sulfur dioxide leaves the bottle.
I'm sure the wine will taste different, how different? No idea, but it won't have sulfides in it. :)

Well, that was a heckuva lot more interesting than I thought it was going to be. Good job guys! Very educational.
This was a good watch. It gives me more respect for something that I never really thought about.
This is so interesting, i’ll go get his book too!
That might explain the origin of the French word "pisse-vinaigre" (literally piss-vinegar), a supremely boring and bland person, dating from the 17th century
That's an interesting factoid, but I doubt you were intending to say that the person dates from the 17th century?
Read my name
thats a neat cultural difference because in english being "full of piss and vinegar" means you're rowdy and aggressive.
du vin aigre

You get the gold star for the best transition into sponsorship . That was beautiful and well done it was so graceful. We went from vinegar to your sponsorship and stayed on topic so I almost didn't realize what was going on. Bravo!
Plus it had helpful information that was relevant to the topic of the video!
A week ago, I found a gelatinous goo covering my red wine vinegar in a small bottle (not airtight) I keep on the counter. I got rid of the vinegar, but now I'm thinking it was Mother. I have some unfinished red wine and some apple cider vinegar with mother in it. I think I'll try making some vinegar.
How did it turn out?
@@LydiaQDames I totally forgot to try. I have to make a note for myself to give it a go (and check to see if I still have that cider vinegar with mother).
@@bobcarn maybe make a new one, it’s been awhile now 😂😭
Really good video, never knew these things about vinegar!
Very informative video props for the Presentation and idea of topic
"Full of piss and vinegar"?
🤔 Never knew where that expression came from.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤦🏿♀
what is left over wine.. !
Wow, good call! My mother always used that expression, and now I have a clue as to where it came from.
It comes from a mishearing of "full of pith and vinegar"
@@Malygosblues "Piss and vinegar" is the original saying. Some people try to make it more polite by saying 'pith'.
So basically humanity has been drinking yeast poop all this time.
And bread is the result of yeast farts.
What is cheese then ?
We eat bee vomit as well
