Is fermented juice alcohol?

This crazy, live process is fermentation. But there are other types of fermented drinks, too, and they're not all alcoholic.

Can yogurt turn into alcohol?

Sometimes. Milk DOES have sufficient sugars to produce alcohol, but it usually takes some time to produce enough to be potentially intoxicating. Yogurt that is fermented just until it sets, and which DOES NOT TASTE FIZZY, is not alcoholic! If it gets to the fizzy point, then YES, it IS alcoholic.

Why does my yogurt smell like alcohol?

Why is my yogurt foamy/stringy and why does it smell like beer/bread? If your yogurt is foamy, stringy or smells yeasty like beer or bread, it is likely contaminated by yeast. This can be yeast from baking, or wild yeast naturally present in your home and on your hands.

What are ferments in yogurt?

Yogurt forms when bacteria ferment the milk sugar, known as lactose, into lactic acid. The lactic acid makes the milk more acidic (lower pH) causing the proteins to coagulate.
