thank you! I'd added some fats beforehand (delicious!) and some sugar after (mild improvement?) but I think I just added way too much vinegar.
I've been meaning to get some msg so maybe this is the moment I've been waiting for? Only thing is I'd tried to dilute it after having made the mistake, so now I'm left with 4L of shitty pisswater to freeze and dilute further.
Vinegar's acetic acid, right? Maybe if I add some lye to neutralise it...
Yes it is acetic acid! You will get some strange flavors from trying to neutralize with lye or baking soda though. You will have basically added salt, removed acidity, and kept some of the vinegar essence.
Don't worry about the pisswater you can concentrate it again by boiling!
Freeze it, make another batch without vinegar, then combine! Diluted the vinegar in half.
It's risky to add things to fix vinegar flavor, but these things can help balance it:
