www.ehow.com/how_2110567_make-rice-vinegar.htmlWash the rice and then soak it in water for at least four hours. For best results, refrigerate this mixture overnight. 2 Strain out the rice from the water using a fine cloth or strainer. Add 3/4 cup of white sugar to every cup of the rice water. Stir well until the sugar fully dissolves. 3 Boil the rice water and sugar mixture on medium heat for 20 minutes. For best results, use a double boiler. Let this cool, and then place in a glass container. 4 Add 1/4 cup of yeast to every cup of the rice water and sugar mixture. 5 Allow this mixture to rest, fermenting for four to seven days, or until the bubbles have all disappeared. After every four to seven days, filter the mixture and change it to a different glass container. You can age the vinegar for up to a month - the longer it ferments, the tangier it will taste. Boil the mixture again before bottling.

1/4 cup of yeast? Yikes. But I still want to try it - very cool!

Yeah, that does seem like a lot, doesn't it, Laura?

I went and read the comments...this is one of those 'need more info' sorts of things. Like, how much rice do you soak? How long do you leave it to ferment? Etc.? But I think I'll do some more homework.

I've never used rice vinegar. How is it different from apple cider? I wonder if you could use the same basic recipe with apple juice to make ACV?
