If you are thinking about balsamic, I hope you have about 20 years to
wait for it to age into some mediocre stuff. The really good stuff
can take up to 50+ years. Starts with grape must.

THAT kind of patience...Guess I am reduced to buying...Well that still
leaves regular vinegar and Malt...

Making vinegar is easy. Making good vinegar is harder. Making balsamic
that amounts to anything is right at the edge of impossible unless you
can get the right grapes, the right barrels and the time to wait for it.
Oh, and if you're Italian and live in Modern, Italy.
Check a brewing shop for a vinegar "mother" which is a colony of
acetobacters that convert alcohol to acetic acid. They come in jars and
are ugly looking things; like a may of some rubbery stuff. They also
usually come with instructions. Read them before you take your "mother"
up to the counter to pay for it and see if you really want to get into
it.

had anything but white distilled from the supermarket...(besides my coveted
balsamic...at $5 a 16 oz bottle)...I mean...I have never had any homemade
vinegar...so I might find that I have to have the "real" stuff...lol..
I have a really warm storage room ...that houses my furnace and hot water
tank...I thought it might be a good place to try making some vinegar...

Blimey mate... true Balsamic vinegar is made over many many many years and
has the original vinegar with grape 'must' added and allowed to mature and
concentrate.. maybe the best of the younger balsamic s is 25 years old...
the many you see on the shelves of shops that are claimed to be genuine,
mostly are not and have flavour added to white wine vinegar.. It is
interesting that in general, Italians don't make good wine vinegars. Try
your hand at making wine vinegars, they are reasonable simple and can be
falvoured up etc.

vinegar down...
I have tried to save on Basalmic before and buy a cheaper brand...but it was
so horrible I just threw it out...Now I don't skimp...You can really taste
the difference...I guess that's why I wanted to make my own...but it sounds
like I might be gone before its ready to use...lol...
