Article: Take off the rubber band and lid cover, then stick a straw down into the liquid without disturbing the gelatinous "mother" floating on the surface. Press your thumb against the open end of the straw to trap some vinegar inside the straw. Remove the straw from the jar, place the straw into a small glass, and let go with your thumb to discharge the vinegar into the glass. You can use a disposable plastic straw or a reusable straw for this task. Take a small sip of the vinegar. If it is either too weak (because the fermentation process hasn't proceeded enough) or too sharp and intense (because vinegar mellows over time), re-cover it and give it another 2 weeks to ferment. Keep tasting the vinegar every 1-2 weeks until it meets your approval. Carefully remove the gelatinous blob floating on the surface of your finished vinegar, and transfer it to a new jar of starter liquid (for instance, equal parts of wine and water). This way, you can continuously churn out new batches of homemade vinegar! Alternatively, you can slowly pour out nearly all of the vinegar in your jar, leaving just a small amount in the bottom with the "mother" still floating in it. Then, refill the jar with more alcohol and start a new batch in this original jar. After removing the "mother" from the fermenting jar (or leaving it behind in the jar), pour the vinegar into a medium saucepan. Place it on the stove over medium-low heat and use a probe thermometer to check the temperature. When the temperature is over 140F (60C) but less than 160F (71C), remove the pot from the heat and let the vinegar cool to room temperature. This process of pasteurizing the vinegar will enable it to be stored indefinitely at room temperature and low light in a glass container. You can skip pasteurizing the vinegar if you wish, and it will still probably store for months or even possibly years without any noticeable decline in quality or flavor. But this quick step is worth the effort to ensure the long-term quality of your homemade vinegar. Place an unbleached coffee filter into a funnel, then place the funnel into the mouth of a clean, sterilized glass bottleold wine bottles work well. Slowly pour the vinegar through the strainer and into the bottle. Seal the bottle with a cork or a screw-top lid. Clean the bottle with soap and water, then pour in boiling water and leave it for 5-10 minutes to sterilize it. Affix a tag to the bottle that identifies the type of alcohol that was used and the amount of time the vinegar was left to ferment. This is especially helpful if you're giving the vinegar as a gift or are stockpiling a personal collection! Homemade vinegar is great to use in salad dressings and marinades, and for other uses when it will either be cooked or refrigerated. However, since the acidity (pH level) can vary widely, it is not safe for use in canning or preserving foods at room temperature. If the acidity level is too low, the vinegar won't ward off potentially harmful pathogens like e. coli in the food you're trying to preserve. This holds true even if you pasteurized the vinegar. It is, however, fine to store the vinegar itself at room temperature (pasteurized or not) in a dark, room temperature or cooler place.

Siphon out some vinegar with a straw after 2 months. Taste the siphoned vinegar, and give the batch more time as needed. Spoon out the "mother" if you want to reuse it in a new vinegar batch. Pasteurize the vinegar so it will keep indefinitely. Bottle the finished vinegar through a filter and funnel. Don't use homemade vinegar for canning, preserving, or room temperature storage.
