I got some great fresh, non-pasturized cider out in the mountains yesterday and I have enough to make a go at some cider. So far, the closest I've ever come to fermenting cider is graff. I'm looking at making 1 to 1.5 gallons and fermenting it in a 2 gallon fermenting bucket. My plan is to use Wyeast Thames Valley 1275 because I have quite a bit that I washed from an English Mild last week.

Here's my question: what kind of starter should I make? I divided the yeast left from five gallons of mild into four jars. What should be my plan to make a starter for 1-1.5 gallons of cider?
