Production planning estimate

Plan around lb of apples

A starting estimate is 0.4 quarts of vinegar per lb of apples. Work back from how much you go through in a year to see how much that takes to make.

What you'll need

— lb of apples

Planning note: Apple scraps and peels ferment first into hard cider, then continue fermenting into vinegar over several more weeks.
