Turned out to be a "translucent"--very old variety, can't buy them now, but very, very good.<BR/><BR/>So, I'm curious, will you still get eggs from your hens, even if they are at your friends' place?

Yeast turns natural sugars into alcohol, and then vinegar bacteria turn the alcohol into acetic acid.<BR/><BR/>So your experiment might work, if you've got the right species of yeast and bacteria present.
