Do It Yourself ACV?

[Chickenmaven]

Is it possible to create an ACV "mother" at home?
I have been buying the Bragg ACV for about $3.50. That's alot of money, poured out fast. Yesterday, I saw regular ACV for $1.50. I was wondering if one could mix a bottle of each. I know that breadmakers keep their starter (the "mother" of their yeast) going for generations, by mixing old with new. Could this be done with ACV?
I spend a whole lot on my chickens. Frankly, the gourmet balsamic vinegar I use in cooking ends up being more economical than the ACV for the chickens.
Any ideas?

I am making ACV. It takes awhile to turn, the way I read to do it is you take 1/2 acv the good stuff with mothers to 1/2 frozen apple juice. You can't use the bottled juice, just the frozen or fresh apple cider

I am making my own too. I bought a huge thing of yeast for 8 dollars(couldn't find anything smaller) and frozen apple juice.

Hey, it is almost apple cider time, here in Michigan.

I am hatching a plan!
