this is my very 1st batch of acv. the pic was taken on day 19. its now day 26 and looks the same. there are 4 distinct layers...
q1. is the vinegar (#2) supposed to be so clear? most videos i see have something more cloudy.
q2. what are the 4 layers? #1 is the pellicle/mother if i understand correctly. #2 is the vinegar. i am not sure of #3 and 4. #3 is a cloud of tiny clumps that move quite easily if i move the bottle. #4 is a thin layer of sediment that looks grainy.
q3. if the ph is 3 when i test it in 2 days time, which layer do i use as vinegar? only #2, or include #3 and 4?
q4. when i extract the mother #1 to keep for future batches, do i keep it in a little of #2 or 3?
