Bought some farm made cider the other day - unfortunately we left it in the car and now it has started to turn.

So anyone know how to make half decent cider vinegar?

Ed, yes but acidity is the key. Normal vinegar is about 5% - much more than that and it will become unpalatable. If the cider is turning to vinegar you have two things

1) a valuable resource (mother of vinegar)
2) an ability to make something more valuable than the cider

Is a sort of "scum" forming on the top?

To check strength I can teach you to titrate the vinegar with a red cabbage and an eye dropper if you like?
