Now I know what my mistake was. Thanks for your video! I am learning a lot from you. Hello from the Philippines. Godbless you.
Thank you Melissa. I studied the chemistry behind the conversion years ago. You explained it very well from a practical perspective. Think I'll try it with my grapes first this year.
Did you try making vinegar out of your grapes? How did it turn out?
@@terryhall2299 yes. It didn't turn out well. Tried it with apples last year also poor results. Different mistakes each time.
This was a really great video! Most vids about making vinegar skip the first fermentation step.
I wanted to add that the alcohol content preferred by acetobacter is 5 to 6%. So if you wanted to make wine vinegars, you can dilute the wine by half. Most wine is 10 to 12% maybe 15%. Add some raw vinegar with some mother and let it ferment. Ive made lots of red wine vinegar and it gets better with age. Im currently using some pinot noir vinegar that finished in 2017. Its slightly thickened, smell is amazing, deep winey vinegar smell 💖
You are such a wealth of knowledge. I have seen people on the internet talking about making homemade vinegar. Your instructions are so precise and and simple. I have learned so much from your channel, it has sparked new interest in food preservation. TFS
Excellent directions! I had wondered why my previous attempt at homegrown apple cider vinegar failed. I never got to the second stage. Getting ready to pick all of our apples thanks!
So awesome! Thanks for sharing! We're just starting our homestead dreams. Super excited to have found your channel.
So happy to have you here!
Melissa, This is the most detailed video I’ve ever watched on making fruit vinegar. Thank you.
You are so welcome!

Madam two questions please:
Should we not put sugar in it for fermentation process.
Secondly, if we use direct juice to make vinegar then for how long we have to keep it there for fermentation. Thanks.
Interesting. Being a Homebrewer I can dothis is large batches. For my gas test/end stage I can use one of my water locks to let it degass and finish. Not sure if it was use but I recently learned of a drink for hot weather [[I'm in the nice hot and humid South working outside-it calls for Apple cider vinegar, honey or molasses and ginger. Trying to grow ginger, bee hives in the future if things do not come apart and now-fruit vinegar!
Just found this channel, it’s awesome she covers. Everything, new sub, cheers from Chestermere.
Thanks. Great timing, I was just thinking about making some vinegar.
Such a beautiful block of land!
Thank you!
Great tips! I started my first attempt at vinegar with my grapes just a few weeks ago.
If you leave your fruit in for a month, you will get vinegar. And it will be strong, especially if you put in a quarter cup of sugar.
Soooo informative and makes it easy to do!! Thnk u for this video!
I love your channel learning so much. THANK YOU
With Apples, when we desire apple sauce/cider, we first core all apples with an apple-corer/slicer, we keep the cores and freeze them until we want to make Apple cider vinegar, but make apple cider in a crock pot, then apple sauce/butter from the solid leftovers. I’m curious how many others use this same technique so that nothing goes to waste from an Apple. Great video Melissa! 😊
Whoa! Prison hooch! Just kidding...
Seriously... thank you for taking the time for making this video. You have a GREAT presentation style and cover all the bases. I bet even *I* can do this. I've been looking around for some fermentation projects after making my first cucumber pickle. I've very excited to give this a try. You make it sound easy enough (except for the exploding bottle thing.) :) All my best...
I never thought of making apple cider vinegar before. I have a crab apple tree that now smothers itself with tiny scarlet apples - and yet I do nothing with them. They have a somewhat 'perfumed' taste if I eat them raw, so didn't know what best to do.
We do use a fair bit of apple cider vinegar since we like making our own soda bread, so I'm going to give this a go in the Autumn.
How did the crab apple vinegar turn out?
cool, picked the last of the Chickasaw plums , i will try this !
I have literally had a jug of juice swell just a bit in the fridge and tasted alcohol like when I tasted it. It was left in our church's fridge. I did not know you could make fridge wine. smh Thanks for sharing; great video.
So clear and simple, thank you! Now I need mature apples to get going 😊
Great video! I can't wait to try it out
Thank you! I love your dress also!!
Hey good morning, thank ya Mrs.!
Got to try this for sure. Thanks for the info!
Welcome!
Perfectly explained 🙏
Gonna try to do this with persimmons.
Thankyou sooo much wonderful!
I love your dress! Thanks for the vinegar recipe!
Awesome video thanks for the information
Making it now! Am doing the 2nd ferment as we speak from plums from my dad's house!
Thank you Melissa! Also...not sure, I may have missed it in the comments, but where did you get that dress (or what brand is it)?!? Its absolutely gorgeous on you and I love the style.
I've been trying to make vinegar in different ways and this is the simplest. I had one other person show me this style. My question to you Melissa is about acid percentage. I read that if it's under 4 or 5% aceitic acid it's not permanently shelf stable and another source saying you need to have a sugar content that would make about an 10 to 14% ABV alcohol if you were just making wine. In other words a 10 to 14% abv wine would turn into a 4 to 7% acetic acid vinegar. Do you have any advice about that topic? I plan on having a lot of fruit in the future and I'd like to make a lot of fruit orchard wines and vinegars but I really love using wild yeast over packet cultures you buy. If you have any incite into this nuance it would be greatly appreciated Melissa. Thanks
So no sugar is needed?
Your post are excellent !!
I like your channel. Lots of useful stuff here.
Merci and blessings +++!!!
Can this be used in the place of apple cider vinegar?
Very interesting!
Thank you for sharing this tutorial. Your detailed instructions are wonderful! I feel comfortable about trying this now.
Additionally, your dress is pretty, feminine, & modest. Did you make it or buy it ? I would like to purchase one or the pattern.
Thank you, I purchased the dress this past spring at Kohls, the brand name is Chaps.
@@MelissaKNorris Thank you! 🤗💕
What about the fruit/solids? Are they useful for anything else once the fermentation is complete and you discard?
Compost
Chickens
Thank you so much!

Loved the video
Hi and thanks! Could i use my kraut crocks to ferment the first stage?
I believe you can 😄 (just like using a glass jar with a loose lid/cheesecloth)
Hi Melissa, I've read that some people add sugar to the fruit and water. It looks like you don't. Is there any advantage or disadvantage to doing so? Thanks for this great video!
It's not needed
Sugar is not needed to make the vinegar?
Thanks!
Thankyou I watch again think i got it ..Hello. So do you fill the jar full of fruit ?? .
Hi Melissa! Great video! Very hands-on with lots of useful information. I've had the same problem with a homemade vinegar and a metal lid. Do you know how store-bought vinegar avoid this problem?
Can you Watering Bath Can on a glass top stove? My Aunt said no, but I want to learn to Can in order to make the food I grow last longer. Right now, What I can not freeze, I give away.
Yes. You absolutely can! I have been doing water bath canning on my glass top stove for 8 years, and one year pressure canning in my All American #21 pressure canner with no problems at all.
apple cider venigat is it same procedure?..watching from cebu philippines
Was wondering if you could use my own frozen blueberries I grew.
Hi Mellisa! Thank you for the wonderful video on fruit vinegar. I made two jars of apples scrap several weeks ago and one made a clear-jelly like substance (not floating)while the other has a more white opaque jelly like substance (floating on top) in it. Are they both mothers? And what do you do with the mothers? Just leave it when bottling up the vinegar? Thank you!
Yes those sound like mothers and I leave them in
Thank you!
Melissa, can I do this with green grapes? I would poke holes in them and toss them in a 1/2 gal mason jar, cover with a breathable cloth and let set?? I am a bit confused as some info that I have seen on CZcams has you add a little bit of sugar... like 1/4 cup. I have these grapes that are going to go bad. I tried an experiment of taking the grapes and storing them in a mason jar, vacuum sealing the jar and putting them in the refrigerator. Surprisingly, this has worked well. Now, I need to do something with them. I could freeze them, however, I also thought I could maybe do wine or vinegar. I have never made wine and would like some for cooking but I haven't read or researched it and have a little more knowledge on the vinegar.. even though I am a beginner at this too.. I just started my first batches of apple scrap vinegar a couple days ago. Then, I found your information. I am also confused about apple vinegar and apple cider vinegar as I saw on CZcams someone say they are NOT the same thing. So, I am trying to figure out how to make apple cider vinegar. Can you please help me? I've been so sick and have been told I will be losing what is left of my stomach as soon as I am healthy enough to have the surgery ... I'd like to be healthy enough that I don't have to have the surgery at all. It's a long story that I would love to share with you because what has happened to me is supposedly really rare. It took forever for the Dr.'s to discover what was wrong but, in short, I had a large hole (35 mm) that was caused by an ulcer which created a gastrocolic fistula that communicated with my colon. I've been dealing with this for over 2 years now... picc line, 5 stents placed in my stomach, a huge surgery at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester last October, a G-tube for feeding afterwards...So much pain and sickness... My feeding tube fell out for the 2nd time at the end of May and I chose not to have it replaced because it was causing me so many problems (I could barely take in any nutrition from it anyways and it caused me a lot of pain too) and I had discovered "food as medicine"..started doing some juicing and making my own bone broth. I went from having to have my husband push me around in a wheelchair just to shop for groceries to being able to walk the entire grocery store after just 2 weeks of changing my diet. Then, I got sick, lost 10 pounds quickly and haven't quite bounced back all the way ....anyways, I'd love to explain what all has happened to me.. too much to do that here but there is more... and not sure how to share it with you. But I am desperately reaching out for info/help. Thank you so much for everything you have provided.
So is the alchohol phase how wine is made?
Also, we have a variety of fruits and grapes. Not only do I dehydrate and jam, we also throw them whole in a juicer, and fill water bottles and freeze, for concentrate juice. We always have a ton of Thompson seedless. Would I be able to skip the first 2 steps, and thaw and place in jar to continue to make vinegar, or do you need the whole fruits to ferment? Thank you.
Say you use a pint jar as an example. About how much vinegar would you be left with once the fruit is removed?
Are we here directions in your new cookbook on preserving?
Yes, that's what the book is ☺️
Is there a way to make just regular distilled vinegar?
White vinegar is made by fermenting alcohol into acetic acid. I don’t know if there’s a best way to do that at home. Plus most are also distilled.
Thank you for posting video, Can you teach how to make vinegar from OLIVE?
When you make apple cider vinegar, do you cut the apples or still leave them whole and poke holes? Also, what type of apples do you recommend? Thank you
Let me get this straight, I just juice some apples and put it in a jar, cover the lid for flies and wait? If Im starting with juice do I even need water?
can i make frozen kiwifruit which pick last year from my garden?
Hi Melissa K, Great video, thank you!! I have apples that fell off the tree, that are not ripe yet. Will they work for vinegar?
I made grape juice using grapes from my vine, but now that juice is in the freezer. Could I thaw it and use that for making vinegar or does the juice need to be fresh?
From my experience, no. The freezing process seems to kill some of the bacteria and yeast needed for the fermentation process.
@@erikawithak1629 thanks!
great video, thanks, Was wondering what is the name of your preserving book? I am looking at buying it and need to know where I can order it from. Thanks
I’m getting fruit flies any way to avoid getting them? The vinegar is stored in a kitchen cabinet
Very interesting. Im assuming this can be used as a cleaning vinegar?
Could green tomatoes that didn’t have time to ripen be used for this?
I don't think they have enough sugar content
Psalm 37:3 KJV
Trust in the Lord, and do good; so shalt thou dwell in the land, and verily thou shalt be fed.
What about adding sugar or honey?
Thank you Melissa for posting this video. I have followed your recipe for the fermented juice. I noticed today that it’s all going mouldy. I have used plums in one jar and damsons in another and the Same is happening to both. Any ideas as to why this may be happening 😊
Where they submerged completely under the liquid?
@@MelissaKNorris not completely and I forgot to stir them . I will try again. Thank you.
Silly question Melissa. Plastic peanut butter lids fit pint jars. Would this be able to be used on the jars after the coffee filter stage? Are the lids sort of breathable?
Yes they're not airtight
After 8 days my batch is doing great but it's down a couple of inches of liquid. Should I add water?
ur looking for Great! ❤️❤️
I have seen to videos adding sugar is this necessary?
Can you use any fruit?
My apple cider vinegar formed a mother but tasted like apple water once i finally took a drink.
Is the “cold water “ cooked or raw water ?
how d o you keep the fruit from molding?
If you want 5%vinegar need to second stage 6 months
I did this exactly the sameand it molded on top… anyone know why?
What happens if after the first week the fruit pops up to the top? What should I do? Push it down or throw it out?
Most fermenting processes recommend using weights usually available in the canning supplies aisle. I have seen some people using large marbles as weights in smaller jars.
Is it important to not wash the fruit first so you don't wash off the natural yeast?
Yeast is naturally occurring in the air and will find its way in. However, not washing will increase the yeast content from the start.
Well I hate to say this but the legs of some flies can help build a mother of vinegar
OH Young Lady, I must tell you just how beautiful you look in that dress. I tear up. Our women of today do not know how lovely wearing a garment made just for women appeals to so many aspects of the glory of God. Thank you for wearing it so well. Your knowledge rivals that of even my grand parents. God bless the work of your hands.
Settle down there Grandpa, you'll go blind.
Such a beautiful comment. I agree with you she is lovely…many women don’t have a clue 😢
My lord are you gorgeous 😍 great video!
Hi Melissa, Young Lady you sure are Beautiful today. BUT, you already know this. Proud of you Girl, Great Video, and I bet you would make one Hell of a Moonshiner ; ) Peace and Love Lady Melissa, from N.C.
what a gorgeous dress😍
🌺👍🌸👍🌺👍
Always enjoy this channel. And from left field, viewers should read the book of Joel in the Bible.
💚🌞
She never put sugar, cool
Nice high-level overview but Mrs. on a lot of marks. If you’re going to show people how to make vinegar or talk them through it, you need to include all key steps in it, including stirring of it every day during the alcohol process. If you don’t, you’re gonna get mold, especially when you’re using fruit based vinegar. To enhance your videos I would go into a little more detail so people know exactly what they need to do.
I've been making vinegar for years. You're putting yourself through a lot of e tra trouble.
Much talk, said nothing.
Hey sweetie, just a suggestion, find a foundation that matches your skin tone. I recommend something lighter. your beautiful!
ugh SO rude and unnecessary
Am I missing something? I think her make up, if she's wearing any, looks fine and really well done and natural
some vinegar recipes online cal for sugar and I was wondering if you really have to or not. I see you don't, just fruit and water. Awesome! thank you ...
