Hi Kids;
 
Every time I make a batch of wine, I try like mad to keep the damned Acetobacter (vinegar bacteria) out of the must, or I will in fact wind up with the vinegar you want.
 
However... the Acetobacter is all over the place, especially around apples. Last year when I made the fruit fly trap out of vinegar, sugar and water, (equal parts by volume) a large jellyfish of crud began to grow in the jar. Possible a vinegar mother mass. It looked a bit grayish.
Also the jar was full of fruit flies, but I could have kept them out.
 
Some winemaking shops also sell mothers.
 
Have Fun and Experiment !!
 
Murph
