Ha, I wanted to post a similar question:
If I am hijacking your post by turning it into another direction feel
free to ask me to open a new topic.
My question was: If I mash apples (and other fruits) and put them into barrels, the same way as to make alcohol to distill, can I feed it to livestock?
In other words: How well do the animals cope with the alcohol?
As far as I know, with pigs it is not a big deal, they get drunk and sleep if they get too much fermented apples.
But what about ducks? Anyone tried it? Seems like a consistency which they can eat.
Craig: why would you add water into your mashed apples? To slow down the fermentation process? I think it is risky.
