Does priming with sugar add much more alcohol to the beer. My lager at the moment is up to 7.2% and I think that's all I want for now. I don't really want it to go higher. I'm worried that priming the bottles will give it a bit more alcohol.
 
Priming sugar is adding so little that it might afftect the content of a 5 gallon brew by like .03% or so... So little that you wouldn't notice...

And bear in mind that non-alcoholic beer is classified (I believe) as beer less than .5% alcohol, so that amount will not break the bank.
