vinegar?

I'm not intending to, but I noticed a white scum forming on the red wine
vinegar bottle this morning. Probably a bit of 'mother' or vinegar
starter. At such times I contemplate the joys of a vinegar cask but
then realize that: 1) we don't drink that much wine by ourselves; and 2)
I usually use what's leftover from company dinners for cooking; and 3)
despite illusions of rurality I'm smack in the center of San Francisco
and there's too much stuff everywhere as it is and there's not much room.

What are some good sites to read about making vinegar?

doing a quick search on "vinegar AND mother" (without the quotes) finds
many dozens of sites. I suppose
http://www.gangofpour.com/diversions.../vinegar1.html
and
http://ohioline.osu.edu/hyg-fact/5000/5346.html are good places to start.

I also see places where you can buy mother cultures as well online, but
if you've got a brewing supply in your area you could check there if
you're not patient enough to wait a couple months for it to form.
