So I want to brew some cider this weekend and use a combo of a few recipes and just want to make sure I have this right. I am fairly new to the homebrew scene having only done 3 batches of beer. Two of which are still fermenting.
I was planning on using Dave's Carmel Apple Cider recipe and add a little honey to it also. Not sure how much I will determine that later.
My questions are how much yeast on average do you guys add? And also anything other little things I should know? I have been reading a lot about cider and have seen the horror stories about exploding bottles and pasteurizing the bottles and all that so I kind of know about that.
Sorry for the newb questions. I was also thinking about doing this one as well.

See which one I like better.
