This red wine mother of vinegar is perfect for making up to 1 quart (32 oz) of red wine vinegar. Directions: Add 8 oz of mother of vinegar & 8 oz of water to 16 oz of red wine to make 32 oz (1 qt.) of vinegar. Place in glass, wood, or food safe HDPE plastic w/a removable top or holes allowing for aeration. Cover holes or open top w/cheesecloth or gauze to prevent insect infestation. Allow to sit 6-12 weeks. Best growth is in temperatures of 80-85 degrees Fahrenheit. You can reuse the new mother that grows on the top of your vinegar. The mother may sink, but will regrow over time until done.
Regarding Best Before date, as per manufacturer: The two year shelf life for mother of vinegar is a business convention in the vinegar industry. Sealed, airtight vinegar does not spoil and its dormant culture doesn't die either unless exposed to high heat or direct sunlight for long periods.
