My bottle of Bragg's Organic ACV says it's diluted to 5% acidity. Hope that helps.

If you make your own, you won't know unless you test it. I don't know how to test it, BTW.

There is no one magic number, it depends on the batch.

The commercial stuff normally says what acidity it is.

Homemade you would have to test with lab-type pH testing equipment which unless you are a VERY serious cheesemaker you are unlikely to have or want to shell out the big bucks for. Just plain ol' pH dip strips will not be accurate enough.
