Conspicuous ConsumptionHave you ever been photographed sat on a balcony eating a croissant; or wallowed in luxury just for the sake of it? What's the most ostentatious thing you ever seen or done?

It's impossible to brew alcohol much above 15%because at that strength it kills the yeast and turns off fermentation. Anything above that strength must have some kind of distilled spirit added to it to fortify it up to 32%. Adding Champagney to this will only lower the alcoholic content by diluting it. What are you, some kind of southern shandy drinking Jesse?

there are plenty of yeast strains that'll hit 20% plus.but in this case, it isn't fortified, it is freeze distilled - the water is removed from it because it preferentially solidifies before the alcohol does. Unlike a traditional still, however, this will leave the "gubbins" behind, so you'll end up with beer flavoured alcohol rather than just ... alcohol.
