well, start with a hundred year old cider barrel, lol
actually, most apple cider[not pasteurized juice-gak] if left in the back
of the fridge will turn on its own. normally it takes what is called
mother-of-vinegar, which is a mass of microbal growth, place it in a
clean sterilized jar and add cider, sort of like brewing cyser using a
culture from a previous batch rather that dried commercial yeastbeasties.
i seem to remember that you can get mother of vinegar from brewing supply
stores and the wine and cake hobby shop in norfolk virginia.
it takes about a month to turn out a nice young vinegar, though it
mellows out with age. basically what i do is tap out a quart or so and
replace it with fresh pressed cider and make sure that i take out what i
will need ofr the next month or so.
