Blake, that's me....
No the vinegar I'm speaking off wasn't for using in the kitchen I bought it
for my chemical experiments I did in my early day's, and yes you can only
store it in 100 % lass bottles and is very dangerous to handle, like all
concentrated acid's which I had too.
I even remember the price I bought it somewhere around the 1978-1980 it
cost me around $40.- for only one liter, it was a big investment for a
scholar that time.
And I have to admit it also cost me a pair of jeans, carpet and some
blisters too during one of the experiments where I wanted to make heavy
smoke (but it worked, that's all I remember)
Hot regards
