Yes, that's my purpose. I wanted to increase the
percentage of the alcohol.
What is the meaning of LOL by the way?

I am now experimenting this.
At the moment, I have no idea on the
difference between the kefir with bifidus and without it.

I see. Now I understand why there is no difference.
Since the kefir is not put at the temperature of
40 C, the bifidus culture did not grow.

I see. This is rather complicated, isn't it..
Thank you very much for your help.
Recently it is rather cold
but the kefir grains are getting bigger!
I like to see the progress everyday :-)
Thank you very much indeed.
Best,
Fumie
