Crawlspace, bottles will not mind getting cold, but getting hot is not a good thing.
You did have a high ABV, and also fermented a little on the hot side so forget about the bottles for a year, really I think you will be surprised.

Well we tried one a while back... I'm going to move them to the furthest reaches of the crawlspace so the temperature doesn't fluctuate that much and just let them be forgotten... months/years from now maybe they'll be less death.

I have decided that "pale juice fruits" such as apples, pears, and blueberries should not be fermented with a super power like champagne yeast in a mead with a low starting gravity. For me, it's a recipe for paint stripper no matter how long it ages.

As it turns out they still taste like death. and remain under the house. I'll open one a year for the next 12 years. Sound like a good plan?
