Excerpt from the guide to make ACV:

I bought this kit in autumn and have made 3 successful batches of apple cider vinegar with apples from my own orchard. It is delicious and so easy to make! The kit comes with great, easy-to-underand instructions. I have the first raspberries coming on and will try to make raspberry vinegar. Thanks KoruKai for such a great kit.
