I have a keg with a couple gallons of mediocre beer... can I make it into good vinegar?

I have a keg with maybe 2 gallons of ~5% hefeweizen that I’m never going to drink. Is it possible to inoculate, wait, and harvest good vinegar?

i'm not sure how the hops would work, but it needs oxygen, and this could be your starter......

I can get that kind of vinegar easily in the grocery store.

I'll have to do some more reading.

mediocre beer=mediocre vinegar. If you want decent malt vinegar just buy a bottle (it goes a looong way) and spend your time and effort on something else. Just dump it and move on.

Actually, I'd just drink the mediocre beer myself. Hell, I ain't above it.
