Simple Vinegar Calculator

This app is designed for the amateur maker. It simplifies the science behind turning alcohol into delicious, shelf-stable vinegar. Vinegar is simply ethanol (alcohol) that has been consumed and processed by specific bacteria known as Acetobacter. The process requires two key ingredients: Alcohol (Ethanol): This comes from your wine, beer, spirit, or other alcoholic base. Live Vinegar (Acetobacter): This is your "mother," also known as a SCOBY (Symbiotic Culture of Bacteria and Yeast). The live vinegar is what kickstarts the conversion. The Calculator helps you balance these two components to ensure the conversion happens correctly and results in a safe final product.
