Kombucha 2nd fermentation over 3-4weeks

[life_way_truth778]

Hi. I have a second fermentation kombucha thats been fermenting for about 4-weeks. I drink off of it a few times a week at the room temp. I haven’t stopped the fermentation yet and it is just how I like it. My question is can I continue to leave at room temp and continue to drink as it continues to ferment? Taste is tangy/acidic and fizzywith a little bit of sweetness. Perfect in my opinion.Wondering how much alcohol contain it would have as well"

Yes, but putting it in the refrigerator would greatly inhibit further microbial activity. Otherwise it may continue to change over time.

Good question, and one that's not easily answered.
The recipe determines the maximum alcohol potential, but measuring the alcohol at home is a rather complex process.
