What You'll Learn:
Preparing the Apples:

Use fresh, ripe apples—perfectly picked in the fall or winter.
Remove seeds and cores, then juice using a press, blender, or cheesecloth.
Fermentation Process:

Add 1 cup of sugar per gallon of apple juice and mix well.
Sprinkle in winemaker’s yeast (not bread yeast).
Seal the jar with an airlock lid to release carbon dioxide while keeping oxygen out.
Store in a dark, cool spot (60–80°F), stir daily, and let it ferment into hard cider.
Turning Cider into Vinegar:

Replace the airlock with a cheesecloth to allow air exposure.
Skim any scum that forms and let bacteria naturally convert alcohol into vinegar.
Testing Acidity & Bottling:

Use pH test strips to ensure a pH of 3 for safe use.
Adjust acidity with water if necessary.
Strain the vinegar, bottle it, and decide whether to process it in a hot water bath or keep it raw with the “mother.”
