Making apple cider vinegar

So much information on making apple cider vinegar. I'll read it later, in autumn, when I'll have apples. I will probably have more than enough to do some experiments.
I know a 'mother' can grow here (or was it a 'scoby'?), because one of my tomato ferments did that. 'Apple cider vinegar with the mother' isn't sold here (in this small Dutch town with only one health food store).

I merged your stuff with the following thread. I hope that is okay by you.

how do you make Apple cider vinegar?
I have seen several ways, but using apple cider and fermenting it did not work for me.
