hi guys,
as per the initial post in this topic i too am about to move from pet bottles to glass and attempt my first bulk prime....
what i am trying to get my head around is how the c02 volume affects the final alcohol content (or does it)???
im brewing a ginger beer at 18-20c--- can anyone help???
or possibly suggest a possibly volume to use. im looking at priming with honey
any thought would be appreciated

It will mate, It's normal fermentation. The yeast will start chomping on the new sugar introduced, only difference is you're trapping the CO2 in the bottle which is what causes the carbonation..
As a rule of thumb, generally the amount of alcohol increase from priming in bottles is about 0.5%..
For a good bulk priming calculator, just google 'Bulk priming calculator, and click the link which comes up from AHB.
Hope this helps mate.
James.
