Today's spirit making adventure is AppleJack, which is a type of Brandy made from Apple Cider.
Ingredients:
* 10 Litres of the cheapest reconstituted Apple Juice from the supermarket
* 2 kg white sugar
* 5 grams of Wine Yeast

Output: 2.0 Litres of 50% ABV (alcohol by volume) Apple Brandy.

Verdict: delicious.
