I aslo don't think vinegar is necessary if fermented correctly.
To me vinegar kills the taste of the fermenting and peppers.
The jar on the left is what is left of my Fresno peppers from a long time ago.
It has been left out on the counter for days on end put back in the refrigerator and hack out again.
More or less overall mistreated and neglected.
It is still just as fresh and clean looking as the day I made it.
The jar on the right is my new batch.
Worth
I dont know if it is my computer or what but it seems to wash out the colors.
This stuff is bright red.
