I am a vinegar lover myself.<br /><br />I have made many types of vinegar and although I have heard and read about pineapple vinegar before I have never been all that curious until now. I am curious enough and inspired. <br /><br />I must say in your post "Making Vinegar the Old Way" I was really impressed with your handmade vinegar jar cloths/ covers. I enjoyed your attention to what many use a simple rag or cheesecloth/muslin. I want some (i don't sew).<br /><br />Thank you for sharing your creativity.Entropy Kitchenhttp://thisistrix.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5089828552519076506.post-23427614989650308822011-01-22T19:13:53.377+10:002011-01-22T19:13:53.377+10:00I put this on last weekend after using a pineapple...I put this on last weekend after using a pineapple at my daughter's birthday party. It took two days to start fermenting and fizzing - quite strange to look at pineapple and see it looking like soft drink!<br /><br />The fizzy has almost gone now, it's smelling pineapply but strange. I'm quite looking forward to seeing how it turns out.<br /><br />Now, what can I use pineapple vinegar for?Melindahttp://superwahm.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5089828552519076506.post-43116257052748535062010-06-10T03:31:44.524+10:002010-06-10T03:31:44.524+10:00I've got VINEGAR!! 28 days!
I tasted it this ...I've got VINEGAR!! 28 days!<br /><br />I tasted it this morning and I'm still alive and feeling fine.<br /><br />A big part of sucess is patience. And trust. It will work. Just give it a try and ignore everything that happens to your liquid. Everything.<br /><br />It will smell bad, like maybe someone forgot to take the garbage out on time but only if you get close. It will foam. It will turn colors. Take the pineapple chunks out after 7-10 days.<br /><br />Stir it a bit. I think it works faster if you do but I did forget in the beginning. I was watching the top foam/mother. But for the last week I've been stiring. Air is needed for the vinegar to grow. This morning when I sniffed, it smelled almost like vinegar. Surprise. It was vinegar.<br /><br />I stained it thru coffee filters thinking I could make it clear. Don't think that made any difference as it's still a milky, golden color, just like my natural store purchased apple vinegar. I'm going to let it sit more to develop flavor but I thought I'd let you guys know it really does work.<br /><br />Temp in my kitchen - 65 to 75 degrees and it took 28 days. No plans to pasturize it.<br /><br />Do give it a try.Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11463432698449442807noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5089828552519076506.post-2559713672622894032010-05-27T03:35:16.457+10:002010-05-27T03:35:16.457+10:00I just started my vinegar a few weeks ago.

That was at 8 days at 60-70 degrees.<br />It started clear went darker gold/brown and now is milky beige. Since it still has foam on top and smells like beer or yeast I figure it's on the right track. It takes alcohol to make vinegar - once it gets clear, I'll taste again.<br />If anyone has more information on this delightful adventure please share.Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11463432698449442807noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5089828552519076506.post-60756452057551274772010-02-19T08:23:55.769+10:002010-02-19T08:23:55.769+10:00I've been making the pineapple vinegar too,and...I've been making the pineapple vinegar too,and I too keep getting white foam and to top it off...fruit flys...help!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5089828552519076506.post-65103497542398512472010-02-13T09:07:55.307+10:002010-02-13T09:07:55.307+10:00Thank you for that wonderful pineapple vinegar rec...Thank you for that wonderful pineapple vinegar recipe- I hope to make some this spring!Janeenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17784516248145748891noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5089828552519076506.post-68155005774815364392010-02-08T07:33:12.197+10:002010-02-08T07:33:12.197+10:00i am hoping someone can help me... i am trying the...i am hoping someone can help me... i am trying the pineapple vinegar at home it has been fermenting for three day and a white foam has formed on top and in the liquid. what is it? and has my batch been spoilt? it is also bubbling and has gone a grey/brown colour.any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5089828552519076506.post-23360456236879263652009-12-24T16:55:57.549+10:002009-12-24T16:55:57.549+10:00this is really great :) i am loving your blog! kee...this is really great :) i am loving your blog! keep up the good work!!! so helpful for someone like me looking to learn, improve and improvise.Rajanihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18223428164337637538noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5089828552519076506.post-48317620364354559582009-12-01T04:37:47.686+10:002009-12-01T04:37:47.686+10:00Pineapple vinegar is a new one for me but from you...Pineapple vinegar is a new one for me but from your instructions so simple to make.
