Hi guys,
I've been thinking about making a vinegar using chillies. I don't mean adding chillies to vinegar to flavour the vinegar or pickle the chillies I mean actually making vinegar from scratch with chillies (instead of, apples for example). So literally would be chilli vinegar.
I've never made vinegar before but from my basic understanding it is yeast that breaks down alcohol to create the acid, but apple cider vinegar seems to be made by putting chopped apples in water. So I don't see why this cannot be done with anything that has naturally occurring sugars.
Has anyone seen this done or have any knowledge that may help me out? Cheers
