Vinegar is the only cooking ingredient we can't make ourselves.

[goboking]

Wheat -> Flour
Beets -> Sugar
Corn -> Oil
[ ] -> Vinegar

Since it is currently the only cooking ingredient we can't produce ourselves, I suggest allowing us to make vinegar from rice via kegs.

 

[imnvs]

I like it.

I'll point out that Sunflowers and Sunflower Seeds can also be used to make oil, too.

 

[Cthulhu]

Ahahahhahahah.. I didn't even know you COULD make oil without sunflower seeds! I tried the coconut, then the sunflower, and never made it to corn. Is it faster to make oil from one or the other?

 

[imnvs]

Sunflowers (fastest, 60minutes) -> Corn (1000 minutes) -> Sunflower Seeds (slowest, 3200 minutes)

 

[Cthulhu]

Well, ^}*{<]*|!,€ all over the place! It's been AGONIZING making oil... and now I know why! :P

But seriously, you should be able to use a coconut, too.

Ooh! And fish! Healthy omega-3s!

Imagine my shock when I tossed rice into a keg hoping for sake or vinegar and got rice juice. What even is rice juice? I was so disgusted. But I sold it. Which begs the question, who drinks rice juice? It’s the greatest SDV mystery.

Rice juice!

 

[Cthulhu]

It's probably the milky starch-water that you pour off after washing rice. Mmmm... deliciouBLRUGHGHGHGHHGH!

 

[Potatoes]

Hahaha, gross. I’m gonna make a bunch of rice juice now and sell it to Pierre.

Good Observation. I would have never even realized...

Wine could also "go bad" somehow and become vinegar. That'd be a nice one to see.
Iridium quality wine is two seasons, but vinegar is 3 seasons. something like that

To be fair, to get vinegar in the real world you always make a form of alcohol first, and then turn it into the vinegar. Wine "going bad" is how you get vinegar, truly.

Pretty much. Good point...

 

[Akemisora]

Put apple in preserve jar and get apple cider vinegar. Rice vinegar is cool too, btw.

 

[ISSsloth]

ooh apple cider would be nice too

 

[PoppyForPenny]

Maybe wine in preserves jar

 

[Keithustus]

Make it so!

Never tried putting rice in the keg, disappointed to know that it doesn't make sake (and as disgusted as uncle Iroh was with hot leaf juice).

If we follow the real world application of making vinegar into SDV I don't think the payoff would be as well worth it, maybe that's why CA didn't implement this?

This may be true, but to be honest, the only wines worth making in SDV are more expensive than the alcohols that are typically used in the real world to make vinegar. The cheapest fruit I make into wine are Pomegranates and Peaches. Apple wine (aka apple cider) is generally more expensive than plain grain vinegar.

If we could turn alcohol into vinegar, though, I could easily switch production over for 1 week to get an alcohol that I could make into vinegar.

Nice thought. I LOVE (Carbonated) apple cider.
