I really don't think that is it. It's not the same type of ache as
simply drinking too much. Besides, I could get a much higher
alcohol content drinking a few shots of any hard liquor and not
experience the stomach ache. Like I said, I only had the problem
with one batch. I made two bottles with the same juice on the same
day, and one was fine, the other was not. I could be wrong, but I
really don't believe a slightly higher alcohol content then beer
would be causing the problem. Even an alcohol content of 15% isn't
much higher than any wine you would by off the shelf, and I have
never had any problem with any other wine. To me, logic dictates
that it must be a sanitation, or bacterial problem; that is the only
variable that makes sense. Although, you might expect off odors, or
a foul taste if that was the case. Again, I don't know, but I don't
think it's an alcohol issue, at least not for me. Just my opinion
though, and I appreciate the help.
