How do you make vinegar with acetic acid?

In: How-To [Edit categories]

Answer:

Add 1 part glacial acetic acid TO 9 parts water. Be aware that glacial acetic acid is a strong acid and can burn you. If you add water to acid, it can react violently.
I find it more convenient to buy glacial acetic acid then dilute it because I use it alot for cleaning and pickling and it takes up less space. Also some of my pickling recipes use glacial acetic acid straight. Check you have food grade acid if using it for pickling.
