I would also like to know about the vinegar mother.
What about the waterless cleaning solutions, such as GO-JO to clean up with? I know that wouldn't a long term solution, but it could get you ahead in your water storage.
I'll try to get Mrs Inor to post the specifics, but basically if you have any really old vinegar you will notice it develops a milky white substance in it. That is the "vinegar mother". If you collect that and put it in a jar of apple juice, it will turn the apple juice into apple cider vinegar in a few weeks. It really is that simple.

If you try to ferment any juice into wine and leave it exposed to the air you will get vinegar. You can even get vinegar by leaving bottled wine exposed to the air.

Have sheep and goats for the lawn. Wife stocks up on cleaning supplies, but that is still limited. Gray water will be used. I still feel eventually I will be more nasty than I am now. But the river is close by
