Homemade hard cider is naturally carbonated. I never set out to make hard cider. It just used to happened when I left a jug of fresh cider out on the kitchen counter too long. Hard cider is distilled into apple jack. Apple jack was also made by leaving a barrel of hard cider outside in the winter to freeze. The alcohol would separate from the cider into a bubble.

And applejack is just a little too stout for this country boy.
May as well make brandy.
