MAKING VINEGAR

AS often as the apple harvest comes
round rccurs the question of a CONVEX
sion Of the unstable Gull stock into
vinegar. After the juice of the apples
has been squeezed out the barrels in
which the first fermentation is to
take place should be filled about two
thirds full and the bunghole filled with
cloth plug TO keep out dirt and flies.
When the working" has ceased the
clear portion of the liquid should be
poured out and strained. if necessary,
the barrels carefully rinsed. out and the
contents replaced. together with a cou-
pie of gallons Of old vinegar with some
mother in each barrel. If a few cakes
of commercial yeast are added the
process will be FASTENED while if the
original apple juice lacked in sweet
ness few pounds of coffee A sugar
will help matters along When the
second step in the process is complet
ed-the conversion of the alcohol into
vinegar which sometimes takes place
in six months and sometimes requires
a couple of years. the barrels should be
filled full and plugged tightly to pre-
vent further chemical changes Cider

with best results under temperature
of about 60 or 20 degrees f.
