OG of 1.195? You have a hydrometer that goes that high?!?! Or is that a typo?

That's funny. The absolute highest I've ever seen a hydrometer go is 1.170, and that's not all that common. You must have a hydrometer for specialty distilling or something.

Anyway, it might ferment a bit but it should stop while incredibly sweet and cloying. I wouldn't try it.

I got the recipe from Redstone meadery when i went to Boulder Colorado a few months ago. The tour guide was very informative. He said there would be a likely hood that the gravity would be really high.

Redstone makes it. And theirs was alittle cloudy and sweet. It was awesome.

I'm interested in trying this recipe. Can it be brewed in the same method as a JAOM, or do I need more specialized equipment?
