I am still quite green to the whole brewing game, so i thought i would run a thought i had by you guys before i tried it, see what kind of tips i can get before i start.
I have a 1 gallon BrooklynBrewhouse summer wheat kit that i am about to bottle, and reading through the cider thread i want to try making some cider with the yeast cake from the wheat beer.
I am thinking about trying this quicker method rather then back sweetening for my first try so i can get some quicker results.

While reading some of the other forums it seems that overpitching is a bad thing, that having too much yeast to start with is a bad thing that can cause some off flavours in beer, but is there the same concern for cider?
Should i abandon the 5-6 day idea and just let it go and backsweeten?
Any other tips are also appreciated as this will be my first attempt at cider.
