That’s accurate, but anything above 0.5% is considered alcoholic in the US. There have been some small pushes to get the limit increased to 1.25%, which would make the usual levels of alcohol in normal kombucha legal, but I don’t think that’ll actually ever happen.
0.5% in the States? Yuck. Paranoid. Anyway not too expensive. Filtering out the yeast. Bubbling oxygen through the mix. Increased nucleation might do it too.

It’s not a lot of alcohol, it’s like 1% by volume or something last I checked. You can make it higher, but I think it caps out around 3%.

Regardless: huge markup.
