Hi there. Just wondering if anyone nearby has any mother of vinegar that they would be willing to share. Thanks.

Would the scum at the bottom of a bottle of Bragg's apple cider vinegar do the trick? They claim to have a live mother, but they also claim other things on their bottles that I would take with many grains of salt. :-P

(Specifically, I doubt that the USDA or FDA regulates this claim, so it may not actually be live.)

Yes, that would probably do it! (I presume it says nothing of filtering, pasteurization, or sulfites on the bottle?)

"Raw, unfiltered, no preservatives". Darned if I know how to get the stuff out, though -- the bottle has a narrow neck (so I can't use the turkey baster), and even a small amount of handling stirs up the stuff to a surprising degree (so pouring off the majority of the liquid into a different bottle might not work.)

I could buy the remainder off you when get the near the end for a buck or two?

Options!

1) We go through it pretty slowly. You can get this brand at Cambridge Naturals, though!

2) I guess I could try filtering the dregs through a coffee filter.

3) I just found another bottle with a tiny amount of liquid in it but definitely some sediment. It's probably a year old. I have *no idea* how hardy mother-of-vinegar is...
