Forgot about distillation, will make hard cider. The answer is yes, in my
county they most certainly do. It's called 'shine. When we bought our farm,
we found an old unit by the creek to make that very item. The boys were so
excited, then ages 5 and 10, by the cool contraption they found. Should have
kept it, darn it. ;)
