Vinegar is an acidic liquid produced from the fermentation of ethanol in a process that yields its key ingredient, acetic acid (ethanoic acid). It also may come in a diluted form. The acetic acid concentration typically ranges from 4% to 8% by volume for table vinegar and up to 18% for pickling.

DC and I spent much of the weekend working on Bisquito's room. He ripped out the carpet, took out the tackboards, and did some touch-up work on some bad spots on the floor (which were few--why people cover up lovely hardwood with carpet is a mystery to me).
I took down the hideous wallpaper border. We still haven't decided 100% on paint colors and furniture and stuff, but that will come eventually.
I really should have taken a few "before" shots, both when it was full of my sewing crap and when it had the ugly carpet. I guess this will have to serve as a "before" in the blank slate phase.
A note on the pose: pregnancy brain + spending a lot of time around the allergens released by ripping up carpet + the smell of vinegar (a less harsh alternative to commercial wallpaper glue solvent) can make a girl feel a little confused.

Here I've taken some of my favorite store-bought vinegar and added in about 20% by volume of Merlot. I'm using this incredible (unpasteurized) red wine vinegar to start this active culture. My plan is to slowly add in small amounts of wine a little at a time as the active culture begins to take hold.
At some point when this culture is really going strong I'll transfer it into a much larger vinegar jar, by which time I should be able to add in proportionately larger quantities of wine without overwhelming the active culture with too much alcohol.
