Since he was making it for Shen Baobao today, Lin Xu naturally decided to make a drinkable vinegar.
He found a glass jar of about five liters, washed it thoroughly, and dried the inside.
Then, he brought over the air-dried wild fruits. He cut off their stems, halved them, removed the cores, and placed them into the glass jar.
With each layer of fruit, he sprinkled a layer of White Sugar.
When the jar was nearly full of fruit, he poured in some Honey, followed by White Vinegar.
The vinegar should fill more than two-thirds of the jar, leaving some air at the top to aid fermentation.
Making vinegar and brewing liquor are two different processes.
Brewing liquor requires the exclusion of air, allowing starches and sugars to convert into alcohols.
Making vinegar, however, needs some air so that sugars and starches can transform into acetic acid.
