Glass Bottles

In the supermarket recently, I saw a 2 litre bottle of cider for £5. I am not a cider drinker, but I loved the bottle that it came in and thought it would be great for my liquor storage.

I am about half way through the bottle and have been thinking about buying a few more. Considering the 8 litre Kilner Jar is about £20, I consider 4 2 litre bottles for the same price is a bargain - considering they also contain alcohol, something missing with the Kilner Jar....

Since I am going to have 6 litres of cider that I will drink but would happily pass on, I was wondering what the outcome would be if I distilled it.Being that the content is 7.5%, roughly how much 40% alcohol could I expect to get using an airstill?

2 litres at 7.5% is 150ml of alcohol

So you'd have 300ml with a full charge of the airstill, of course you'd have to make cuts so you probably wouldn't get much, probably better to drink the cider than waste the electric, on the other hand you could create alcohol free cider for kids and pregnant women!

Cheers, think I'll just drink it. For such a small amount, it isn't worth the time and effort.
