    Anyone want to explain how to make hard cider for a newbie?

    That is what I want to hear. How long to wait for it to be ready? 2,3, or4 weeks?

    Thanks. What about adding the cherry or blackberry juice in place of 1 qt of apple juice. That will be okay?

    I had read some people used brown sugar. That's all. Thought it was part of making the cider.

    So it seems everyone has their way. Ill use safcider yeast and pitch brown sugar. Next, if its good, Ill add 1 qt of cherry in place of apple juice. See how it turns out. I dont want a dry champaign taste. Thanks to everyone.
