> It's the alcohol content that is causing the ache.I really don't think that is it. It's not the same type of ache assimply drinking too much. Besides, I could get a much higheralcohol content drinking a few shots of any hard liquor and notexperience the stomach ache. Like I said, I only had the problemwith one batch. I made two bottles with the same juice on the sameday, and one was fine, the other was not. I could be wrong, but Ireally don't believe a slightly higher alcohol content then beerwould be causing the problem. Even an alcohol content of 15% isn'tmuch higher than any wine you would by off the shelf, and I havenever had any problem with any other wine. To me, logic dictatesthat it must be a sanitation, or bacterial problem; that is the onlyvariable that makes sense. Although, you might expect off odors, ora foul taste if that was the case. Again, I don't know, but I don'tthink it's an alcohol issue, at least not for me. Just my opinionthough, and I appreciate the help.--- wrote:> It's the alcohol content that is causing the ache.
