Well, all you naysayers, I can only tell you that it has been 2 weeks and I have a wonderful bacterial colony (mother) on my rich ruby red product, and I tasted it tonight and damned if it isn't...you guessed it! Vinegar! Woo Hoo! I am in the money now. Let me see, i need saled, distrubution, tech, PR advertising, preparation for the IPO............ a name, a slogan, "hey man, this is some folkin' good vinegar ya got here."

Actually I have a ways to go yet, but it is really quite delightful to have this happen so soon. I should have starters to give away soon for anyone inclined to follow in these acidic footsteps, jimmyt
