Nothing terribly different, except that you use cider instead of water. I make 6 gallon batches, so 5 gal cider, 1 gal (~12 lbs) honey. The OG is usually in the 1.1teens, and I generally take it dry; while I usually backsweeten my ciders, I keep my cysers dry. I really like the White Labs English cider strain (WLP 775) for making both cider and cyser...

Yeah, even if you try to select a yeast that will leave something behind. Cysers have a reputation (with me at least) of making yeast blow past their tolerance and taking you dry.
