Back when we were juvenile delinqu ....I mean young bucks, we'd go to the farm stand down the street in the fall and buy gallon jugs of fresh cider, and then hide it out in the woods. We didn't know nothin about fermentation, or carbonation, but what we did know was that after about 2 weeks it turned "picky" (carbonated) and gave you a buzz.
It was actually pretty tasty, and the unique part about it was the carbonation , sometimes you'd have to degas it really slowly for like 10-15 minutes or risk losing half your cider from the gusher that might happen if you opened it too quick. It came in glass jugs so that's why it carbed so well.
It would be cool to do something like that again, but I have no idea if you can get fresh natural cider in 1 gallon glass jugs.
