If your readings are correct, you have 22% alcohol, and that is way
over the limits of a sweet mead yeast. If your SG reading was 1.120,
you have 9.7% alcohol, which means you could drop a little more. A FG
of 1.020 would give 13%+ alcohol, and that is still a little over the
limits of sweet mead yeast.
