I juiced the grapes seeds and all and now is like sipping alum from the grape seeds. I am going to freeze Jack this and as posted above will summer at 150° to remove some methanol. Also, going to run alcohol through a charcoal filter before oak aging a few weeks. Thanks for ideas. Joe

I am preparing some apple cider too. Currently fermentation is still in process. Once its done, I am planning to use the microstill to distill the applejack. The microstill allows a hassle free distillation and can be operated by anyone.

Newbie, so talk down to me.. proportions, type of yeast, etc.

I have managed to obtain a few liters of apple cider for reasonable price and happen to have a decent quality freezer. I’d like to use freeze-concentration to produce some applejack from it, to have a glass of the legendary drink.

this is a great recipe. Do you think it could work with mead? I’ve heard that there is a drink called honey jack, but I can’t find anything on the net. My friend has taken up beekeeping recently, but he doesn’t want to sell his honey, so he’s looking for a way to make it useful, well, maybe rather more enjoyable than just honey. Can you help me? Thx.

That boils off the methanol. Point is this is a way to produce liquer for personal consumotion without the need or legal hassle of illegal stills.
