[TheForge] The hard cider is good...

[Rob Fertner]

To make applejack out of the hard cider you freeze it. The alcohol part
doesn't freeze and the water part becomes an icy slush. You filter the slush
out and you end up with a high alcohol content Applejack. Kind of freeze
distillation.
I read this years ago in a book about the old days in Vermont. The author
made a comment that when the authorities cracked down on the production of
Applejack, the rate of axe murders went down. :-)

Well, I guess I am a cheap date because I just drank 2 shots of our hard 
cider and I am at least mildly in the bag.  Never made it before so 
wasn't sure what it should taste like.  Once the yeast settles out, it 
tastes like an apple wine... sorta.  Anyhow, the question is what to do 
with 15 gallons of it.  And I've got apples for perhaps another 30 
gallons worth.  What about building a still?
