brown sugar vinegar brewing

Using brown sugar....A VERY NICE RECIPE
 To every gallon of water put in pound and a half of good brown sugar, let it boil for a quarter of an hour, then put into a tub and when lukewarm, add to a pint of new barmy home brew, let it work for 4 or 5 days, stirring it 3 or 4 times each day, then turn it into an iron-hooped cask, stand it full in the sun. If you make it in February it will be fit for use in the following August. Put a paper over the bung hole and push holes in it.
  I will be making this one of these days, along with this recipe , from the same book.

 I HAVE MADE THE BROWN SUGAR VINEGAR AND IT WAS VERY NICE .
I had to use a wine yeast to get it going as I don't make beer now.

 Using HONEY,  HONEY  HONEY

 In November, when we had plenty of honey, I made vinegar thus; Put broken honey-combs into a stone jar; to every pound allow one gallon of boiling water, which pour over the honey; cover with muslin, place it in a sunny window. In about six months you will, after straining, have sharp, clear vinegar, and need buy no more. Failing honey I used sugar, an excellent substitute.
