I can't recall how many I used without looking it up. Perhaps 1 kg.</p><p>We are into Week 2 of fermenting the vinegar. It has been strongly smelling of alcohol, but that is diminishing now.

Ganga<p>Not sure if the <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/GrapeSaga" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>GrapeSaga</span></a> has been <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/GrapesOfPlenty" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>GrapesOfPlenty</span></a> or <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/GrapesOfWrath" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>GrapesOfWrath</span></a> 😆 </p><p>First, here is the 1.6Kg of dried grapes over 2 sessions of picking, slicing and dehydrating grapes, about a week apart. 600g resulting from the first one, and 1kg from the 6.5Kg of bunches. (They are super dehydrated, more than the first lot, so would have a heavier yield if I'd not miscalculated.)</p><p>There is no condensation, so I can label and store.</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/FromTheKitchen" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>FromTheKitchen</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/WhatIAmCooking" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>WhatIAmCooking</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/Food" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Food</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/Vegetarian" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Vegetarian</span></a></p>
