How much mother is needed per gallon of red and for white wine vinegar?
A. When making vinegar, you start by adding 1 part mother (8 oz. jar) to 2parts wine and 1 part water if alcohol of wine is greater than 9%.When the alcohol begins to convert to acetic acid, you may continue to addmore wine/water to get to the volume you want as this is a dynamic process. It is not necessary to start off with so much vinegar mother to convert 1gallon of wine if you gradually build up the volume.
