"Louisiana "La-yers" Peeps"

[TerriLaChicks]

I wonder if it's too late to add water. Mine didn't have any water covering the top. My "soupy" looked like some watery grits. I will have to figure out cups to water, so that I will know next time.

I have read about people making their own vinegar. I will have to look that up. Just what I need. Another profect.

Angelfood cake sounds delicious.

I don't think it's too late to add any water - mine's probably "too soupy" (I just checked it & it still has a little bit of water over the top) but I wasn't sure how much the feed is going to absorb - as cool as it is today it sure isn't going to do much fermenting! Mine's under the carport.

You make wine -- you already are 1/2 way to making vinegar! You just mix one part of the raw vinegar with the 'mother' in it, two parts of wine - red or white, and one part water, put in a wide mouth glass or stainless jar, cover with cheesecloth & set in a dark place for 4-6 weeks. That's your basic vinegar recipe. You can add stuff to it like tarragon to flavor it & I've also heard you can use beer or ale instead of wine but I never did it that way.

I read online and I saw where people still add ingredients (more ACV) on the 2nd day, so I'm with you, I don't think it's too late to add any water. I will do that when I get home.

I should have put mine in the garage where the million of brooders and heat lamps are. It's warm in there.

WOW !! I didn't know making vinegar was that easy.

I fed the fermented grapes to the birds and they are still alive. I don't guess anyone had a hangover.

I am NOT an extremely social person. When I choose friends--I keep those chosen few for life. they have always been there for good times and bad.

However, on this thread I have found people who will not only tolerate my love of chickens, but encourage it. I don't even have to get out of my pajamas. You don't judge me when I have chicken poop on my clothing. On this thread I can get advice on poultry needs, share excitement of new chicks, learn new ideas for improving our homestead--like fermenting or making my own ACV. You have even now not only taught me, but showed me in pictures how to make my own wine by the 5 gallon bucket full. You are all now my new BFFs. I have found a second home.

I hope all of you will begin your 5 gallon buckets of fruity goodness soon--then we can toast one another and our birds together. We can have a sing along of "Lean on Me" while we are toasting. Goodness knows that if I read the recipe correctly, the 5 gallons has to be finished in 30 days---I'm gonna need somebody to leeeeaaaaannnn onnnn!!!

Awwwwwwwwwww. What a wonderful post. Such kind words and so true. I really needed to read those words today. Sometimes we get caught up in the day to day things that we are faced with and forget what's most important in our lives and we sometimes forget to smile and be thankful. This thread is a great place to retreat to get away from the "real world" and fellowship with people like US. Such a beautiful thing. Everyone on this thread is so wonderful. We all tolerate one another.

That is too funny. I will be there when you need me.

I am counting down until I can taste the "fruits" of my labor.

CHEERS !!!!
