Wikipedia Article About Malt vinegar on Wikipedia

Malt vinegar is made by malting barley, causing the starch in or from the grain to turn to maltose. An ale is then brewed from the maltose and allowed to turn into vinegar, which is then aged. A cheaper alternative, called 'non-brewed condiment', is a solution of 4 – 8% acetic acid colored with caramel. There is also around 1 – 3% citric acid present.

Australians, British, Americans, and Canadians commonly use the malt vinegar on fish and chips.
