I bought a case of Bragg's ACV. Normally, when I would buy one bottle, it had the mother in it, or would grow one during the time I was using it. This whole case of ACV does not have the mother. Yes, it has sentiment on the bottom, but not the floaty jellyfish like mother I'm used to. So, finally I was done with that case and I bought another case of Azure Standard's brand that they make in Oregon on their farm. Again, no mother. Is this normal? Is it still alive? I'm wondering if it was stored improperly before I got it and either got too hot or too cold and killed the mother's?
Thank you for your help!
