I used some “mother” from a bottle of Organic vinegar and so far no mold, so good.  I tried a bit after letting it sit quietly for three months.  It was mildly vinegary but still quite sweet, so I’ve left it alone.

Please do let us know how this turns out.

I'm not sure you need or want to "let it alone". Some commentary in my Florilegium talks about medieval people shipping bad wine from one port to another, with the constant shaking of the ship helping to speed up the turning of the wine into vinegar.
