Actually I looked up the real story of Johnny Appleseed and he was more about making hard cider and selling land. 🙃

    If you know what brewing with apples and not having access to modern equipment, sanitation and yeast is like then I highly doubt they were in short supply of vinegar.

        No they are saying that it was intentionally made into vinegar as it’s primary purpose. That just simply isn’t true, it’s primary purpose was hard cider, vinegar was a byproduct of failed batches that few people would be in short supply of.

          For alcohol, just deny it oxygen once it just gets going. You don’t have to prevent exposure to acetobacter.
