Q: A few years ago you covered a question about vinegar mothers. Well I’ve got a new spin on the question.
My balsamic vinegar has grown a mother. Is there any way I can use it to make vinegar from wine? I know that balsamic is traditionally made from un-fermented pressed grapes carefully aged in barrels. That sounds too complicated to do at home, but I’d love to find some use for this mother.
