Remember that acetobacter is aerobic and you will need to introduce
oxygen when you pitch the mother of vinegar culture. The mold spores
will do no harm if removed but to keep them out, use a filtered line
when aerating the mash. For homebrewing, I use an aquarium pump that has
an inline filter. You can find commercial cultures at
