A guy brought some of this to our local homebrewer's club meeting last night. Whoa, this stuff will knock you out! I measured the OG just for the hell of it: 1.152. That's not a typo! Check out the recipe, it's pretty damn simple to make. I just happened to have a one gallon bottle and I had the cinnamon, clove, and bread yeast in the kitchen already. Just had to buy the honey, an orange, and some raisins.

6/19/2009 - Three weeks later this stuff is still bubbling, about two bubbles a minute!

6/22/2009 - Topped the carboy up with water.

Bottled sometime in July. This is too sweet. Need to cut back on the honey.
