I am a Mead maker. I use Eau De Vie yeast which is alcohol tolerant to just over 20% ABV. It usually give me a wine that is 18-19% ABV. I take this very strong wine and run it through my still to make brandy. There is a process that can be used that will get the ABV up to about 30% that involves freezing the wine and pouring off the alcohol but it tastes like shit. My apple flavored Mead is better than the best hard cider and it makes "smoking" Apple Brandy when I put it though my still.

@Sirchud68 stays in it, makes it carbonated like soda

Where does the CO2 go during fermentation?

@outofworkbum I'll help you out here as 29065019555903 maybe doesn't understand? ANY wine yeast only has the potential to FERMENT to A MAXIMUM of 23% A.B.V then autolysis (DEATH) takes place through alcohol poisoning so wine from that point HAS TO be distilled to get a higher yield of alcohol...hope this explains it better?

Far from brandy which requires a still to make. All this does is makes hard cider in a hole in the ground. I personally make mine on a shelf in the shop.

@seoulkidd1 does it matter if the cider has been through the pasteurization process or not?
