Up in the frozen north (yes, rochester counts too) it was not uncommon in days 
gone by that maple syrup was left to ferment in casks in the fall to produce
a maple cider/hooch concoction. To give this brew a bit more of a kick it was
allowed to sit out overnight for several nights when a freeze was expected.
This had the effect of separating the water (which froze) from the alcohol
(which did not). Similar conditions could probably be simulated with the
ice box in a refrigarator.
