How to make from essence
Most often people are interested in how to make 6% vinegar from 70%. The essence, since it is very economical, is simply very popular among housewives, and therefore, it is available in almost every home. To make 6% vinegar out of it, you need water, clean glass or ceramic dishes, and a steel tablespoon. It is better to take water filtered, boiled, at room temperature.
So, take a full spoonful of the essence. Pour the liquid into the prepared dish. Pour boiled water into a cup. Pour 11 tablespoons of water into a container with essence. Stir the solution well at the final stage. Vinegar 6% ready. Now it can be used for its intended purpose.
How to make 6% from 9% vinegar
In this case, it will be more convenient to use not a spoon, but a glass or, for example, a glass, as a measuring container. At the first stage, you also need to boil the water and cool it. Next, you should take a bottle with 9% vinegar and pour it into a glass, filling 2/3 of the volume of the latter. Then you just need to fill the glass with water to the top. That is, in order to get 6% vinegar from 9%, you need to use 1/3 part of water for 2/3 of its part.
If you need to get exactly the exact concentration of 6%, instead of a regular glass, you can use, for example, a measured medical one. Or do it a little differently. To get exactly 6% vinegar, you should:
- take two containers - one larger, the other smaller;
- fill a smaller container with vinegar almost to the top (just so as not to splash);
- pour the measured amount of vinegar into a large container;
- half-fill the vacated smaller container with water;
- pour water into a large container with vinegar 9%.
In this case, the proportion will also be 1/3 to 2/3. But this breeding method can be considered more accurate. After all, measuring half a glass is easier than 2/3.
Helpful advice
So now you know how to make vinegar 6% from 70% or 9%. The procedure is simple. However, when carrying out it, you should be careful. After all, vinegar is, albeit weak, but still acid. If it gets on the skin or mucous membranes, they must be washed immediately with plenty of water. When diluting the essence, and even 9% vinegar, you should also not bend over the container too much. Vapors of this acid can also be somewhat hazardous to health.
