Apple "Eau de vie" from store applejuice

[Bujapat]

Here's a simple receipt to make a good apple "eau de vie"

I bought 24 l apple juice, the cheapest at Aldi (30 cents a liter), without dye nor preservative. On the packs was indicated 10% sugar...
I decided to add sugar to increase yeald : calculate that I could add 3600g sugar maximum, so I decided to add 2400g to get 20% sugar.
Added 7 g of "aromatic" wine yeast (Bioferm aromatic, at brouwland.com).
Let ferment about 10 days... that's all!

Then run in a pot still (or reflux without packing) to get 70%ABV. You would get a nice apple taste and smell.

At this stage, 3 possibilities :

Dilute and drink as it is (dry)
Dilute and add some sugar (sweet)
Let it age on oak... and you get Calvados
