Dosing vinegar does lower the pH a bit, depending on the size of the dose, but the bacteria can consume it light or dark, so I think adding it most likely is okay at any convenient time. Large doses might need to be broken up, though. I might measure the pH after an addition to see what's happening, and work from there.
