[Sca-cooks] Cider vinegar (OOP)

My first attempt at brewing hard cider was a failure. Not a
catastrophic failure, mind you. It hasn't turned into a science
experiment, blown up the back basement, or become toxic. But after 3
months, what I have is somewhat sour, weak, and not very alcoholic. I
am now wondering if I can turn the sow's ear into a serviceable purse
(of leather, not silk). I bought a bottle of organic apple cider that
contains the mother. This, if I understand correctly, is a live
vinegar culture. Can I just dump the bottle or part of it into the
5-gallon carboy of not-very-good cider? Will it be happy in my
low-60s (Fahrenheit) basement? Suggestions?
