So I mixed ACV from the store with ACV with the mother about 1-1/2 weeks ago and it has been in my pantry. It is starting to get a milky colored film on top of it. Is that the mother or something else? It doesn't smell rancid.
After making ACV using Braggs (assuming it comes out right), can I put it in a container like a plastic tea pitcher and keep adding homemade ACV to it? I am curious about mixing different batches together.
