I believe some states put the kibosh on using drops.
A farmer I know uses drops that are collected and pushed into a pile for a TMR for his cows. Yummy!
Get some of your farmers drops and with a proper press you can make a prime apple cider. That will ferment to 4-5-6% alcohol with no sugar added. They love this stuff in England.
You can even slow ferment them in your basement in one gallon plastic milk jugs. Tighten cap then back it off a bit so that fermentation gasses can escape.
