I see he used MALT vinegar, which differs from the white or red vinegars available in the states.. may take some looking for...

vinegar is acetic acid which will give you the corrosive effect and remove the rust from what I can find in a quick search online about malt vinegar it appears that it is fermented so I doubt from a chemical reaction standpoint that it will help with the removal of the rust

Malt vinegar is very popular in England. It's made from fermented barley and grain mash, and flavored with woods such as beech or birch. It has a hearty flavor and is often served with fish and chips.

Heinz makes a malt vinegar so it will be available just more expensive than the normal vinegars as it is more fancy

Now I'm sad, ill still try though, I'm sure I can find something rusty in the yard to try it on, I'm guessing any vinegar (acid) will work,
