First Cider in the Fermenter

[Kampo]

I just got into Homebrewing a few weeks ago, bottled my first batch of beer and its ageing in the bottles. I was all set to brew a wheat beer when I pulled a 180 and decided on a whim to do a cider. kinda winged a 3 gallon batch and not sure how its going to turn out.

what I did:

Ingrediants:
7 Cans of Frozen Concetrated Apple Juice , which was on sale for 50cents a can hence the whim lol.
1 pound of Dark Brown Surgar
a couple spoonfulls of cinnamen
a bit of nutmeg
S-04 Yeast I got from Bell's here in Kzoo (love that place great beer and great stuff to make beer)
water to top off.

I brought a galon of water to boil then added the Brown Sugar and let it dissolve. added the cinnamon after 10 min or so and let slow boil for another 15 then added the nutmeg at flame out. cooled it in a ice bath. while cooling I tossed in the 7 cans of apple juice into the fermentor and added some water, added the gallon of sugar cinnamon water then topped up to 3 gallons. was tired and wanted to go to bed so didn't take a hydrometer reading but 24 hours later it is bubbling away so I'm crossing my fingers. any thoughts on the recipe? I'm thinking it will be pretty potent stuff

the only sucky thing is I'm out of beer and promised the GF I wouldn't buy any more beer till I finished what I brewed, and the first batch of beer won't be ready for another week at least I may have to sneak down to bell's and procure a six pack)

I've found that cider and wine don't take days to ferment - they take weeks, even months. You better get a few cases of Bells and tell the GF something that sounds plausible; "the yeast didn't flocculation enough to give the proper level of sedimentation" or "while fermenting the wort, the gravity didn't achieve the proper attenuation".
Unless she is a brew master, or actually listens to your ramblings about brewing, she should probably buy your Bull and allow you to buy more beer in the interim. If not, dump her ass, because you are only going to have move problems from now on.
