  • Weird Science

    During the fermentation process, vinegar produces a harmless bacteria which turns the alcohol into acetic acid. This bacteria is called mother of vinegar.

    Some vinegars will develop vinegar eels, which are a kind of microscopic worm that feeds on the mother of vinegar. Vinegar eels are also harmless, but most manufacturers filter them out before bottling.
