Tips for Success

• Use Non-Reactive Containers: Always use glass jars and wooden or plastic utensils to avoid reactions with the acidic vinegar.
• Avoid Chlorinated Water: Chlorine can inhibit the fermentation process. Use filtered or non-chlorinated water.
• Monitor for Mold: If you see mold forming on the surface, skim it off immediately and ensure the apples are submerged under the liquid.
