    Are my hops toast?

    I'd say you're fine.. My LHBS has their hops hanging on the wall unrefrigerated. I've never had a problem with them.

    Funky Smell

    How Long till Cider?

    It is possible to have a tasty cider in 2 -3 weeks. From what I gathered from the advice I have received is that if you let the cider ferment all the way out, it will be good in about 6 months. But if you stop the fermentation at around 1.010, It will be good in 2 - 3 weeks.
