I've been making and drinking Kombucha and Kefir for several years and recently started up a ginger-bug.
at first I was just mixing the three from unsealed containers, or loosely corked wine bottles.
now I've started bottling the mix in plastic soda bottles for a few days for the added fizz, and man are they active!
generally, the mixed capped bottles sit a day or so on top of the fridge, then are gradually consumed in a day or so.
sometimes I add an herb tea (hibuscus, rosehip etc)
the question is about alcohol content: does a day or so of capped bottling encourage a greater alcohol content?
I can't taste alcohol, but sometimes find I have a bit of a headache in the morning, which may well be unrelated.
a medical condition makes alcohol a no-no for me, and I want to make sure I'm not brewing up a storm by storing in capped bottles.
reading through the forums, there doesn't seem to be a firm answer on alcohol content, and of course everyones home brew method is their own, but with the idea of keeping alcohol content at a minimum, can someone give a few concise guidelines?
thanks
