I cannot find malt vinegar in Brussels. I think it would help to know if there were a kind of cuisine that uses malt vinegar frequently other than British and American food. E.g. if the Japanese use it, then I could look for an importer that specialises in Japanese food.

@ciferecaNinjo@fedia.io well, it is not strictly necessary, but I like to use it when I'm trying to make some new, experimental vinegar, since it is a safe option, you know, as it has all the bacteria already there to get the thing going, and lowers the risk of contamination with other microbes :) Also, I have an ongoing huge vat of ACV going, so I have lots and lots of mother most of the time. As per types of beer, I cannot say for sure, as I didn't try with other varieties, but I don't think IPA would give a good result even if just because the bitterness would be overpowering. But you know, best way is to try, try and try again! Edit: I would very much like to try make a lambik vinegar, as I am a huge fan, but sadly they are not readily available in Dublin :(
