Your directions are confusing. In step 2, you give 3 alternatives for making the starter. In step 3, you begin with “Strain the apple-water mixture into…”. What apple-water mixture? You discussed such a mixture for a starter but what is it you are adding the starter to? Your intro states that you are first fermenting to hard cider (so assuming you are using cider/juice) and then fermenting a second time to vinegar. Your steps do not give a first and second fermentation. It looks like you are just describing how to make starter, not vinegar out of cider.
Please clarify.

(btw, I am an experienced fermenter of crock pickles and fruit “brandies”, not a newbie. So my confusion must be shared by some who just look elsewhere after reading your post.)

I added to the apple cider vinegar (Bragg) various plants such as horseradish, basil, ginger, cloves, thyme, garlic, sage, cinnamon – and left to macerate for about two weeks. I use it as a tonic, a teaspoon or so in about 100ml of water. Honey or maple syrup can be added. It is very tasty and refreshing after work in the evening and in the hot summer days…
