The true process to make apple cider vinegar is to first ferment the apple juice into "hard cider" which is alcoholic. This takes an introduction of yeast to ferment the juice. Then after you have the alcoholic cider, you add the "mother" (bacteria) which will convert the alcohol to acetic acid (vinegar).

One way you can "make" ACV cheaper is to buy one of the bottles with the mother and then add some (half cup or so) to a gallon of unpasteurized cider. It will eventually turn to ACV. You can also use a juicer with apples and do the same thing. I've never heard of adding probiotics to stuff though (except to milk when you add yogurt to it to make more yogurt). I'm intrigued !
