Hey All,

I want to make some apple cider vinegar. My last attempt at wine vin years ago didn't turn out so well, but I have some vin that has a beautiful chunk of mother in it and am ready to give this another shot. So, now I have some apples and have done some looking at the process. But I'm confused on whether I should let the apples steep for a bit first, then strain and add mother. Or just throw apple mush, distilled water, and vin w/ mother all together and let the process work. Anyone have experience doing this either way?
