Nope. It's a controlled fermentation like how they make vinegar. There is bacteria and yeast in the starter and scoby. It also must start at a minimum acid level.

With a long fermentation and capped long secondary fermentation it is possible to get up to 5% alcohol. Normally it's around .5 to 1%

Oh wait a minute... If this that thing that looks like a waxy doughy muffin thing that grows on top of liquid. Then yes, I've drank some, I wasn't so impressed honestly, might as well drink some vinegar instead. Thanks but I'll stick to beer instead.

Yes. That's it. Some people like it, some don't.

I like vinegar shrubs, too. A lot of people don't like those either

I really like water kefir. I couldn't stand kombucha and never tried milk kefir. I have heard others say that both of the latter are an acquired taste. I'll believe you guys.

If you like buttermilk, you will love milk kefir.
