Gulf Wars came and went, but my 'vinegars' stayed at home. Lesson learned. Apparently months are needed to brew vinegars in winter.
Good news came this afternoon when I was in my big closet getting supplies and I saw mothers formed on at least 5 of the solutions. The thickest are on the peach (below), pie cherry and chocolate.
The maraschino cherry and pear each have a thin layer; the raspberry and honey appear to have none. The raspberry is in a regular neck mason jar and filled almost to the top so I have to wonder if it's getting enough air. I can't remember if I added any vodka to the honey mixture (another lesson learned - NOTES!), but I can't believe I didn't. I wonder if the anti-bacterial properties of the honey are at play......
Tomorrow I'll check the pH in the 3 with the thickest mother to see if they're ready to stabilize. Fingers crossed!
