I can't speak for Jay, but I don't know if it is exactly polite to 
use his mailing list to speak about making an illegal substance.  "Apple 
Jack" is something that falls under the Bureau of Firearms and Tobacco 
'cause it's not something you just ferment.  It's closer to distilling 
in their eyes. 

You may want to keep that in mind before you actually try making any.

I made apple jack by accident when I set the temp. of my beer bar wrong. 
the funny thing was I did not know that was what I was drinking. Till  
the keg of hard cider we were drinking ran out . I said wait a minute  
that was 5 gal of hard cider 
I can't be out all ready when I pick up the keg there was a soled block  
of ice frozen 
in the keg. But still that was the best cider I ever had.....
