yeast vs ginger bug

[bugdry]

Quick question guys and gals. If i use beer yeast and i cap the bottles right away. I know it will carbonate the liquid. But it will not make it alcoholic unless i allow it to ferment right?

A little more info being shared.
1. I am using plastic bottles.
2. I have been using natural yeast/microbial growth from a ginger bug up to this point.

I want to use beer yeast to cut down my down time between batches. My concern is that if i use yeast that is used to make beer, my ginger beer will become alcoholic. Currently i put the ginger bug into the wort before i bottle it. I want to do the same with yeast.

Quiet same question like you. Need some advice right now..

 

[S-Met]

Ginger bug is a spontaneous fermentation whereas brewer's yeast is a more controlled fermentation. Available fermentable sugars will produce alcohol. CO2 and alcohol are the byproduct. Priming to 2.0 volumes of CO2 adds about 0.5% abv and moderate beer-like carbonation.
