Well i just got it going :)

It took 2 hours to juice all the apples, we had a awful blender and most of it had oto just be reduced down to Must then done by hand.
Still, we managed to get about 3/4 a gallon of pure, filtered juice from 40 small-medium apples, so it cant all be bad.

Only downside was that all i had left from previouse attempts at brewing was some really bad yeast (might as well be bread yeast), so im hoping that wont kill the taste to much =/

Other than that its sitting nicely in its demijohn, hopefuly it should start bubbling within a few days, drink able in a few weeks :)

Woo, im so excited :D
 
Cider is fairly forgiving on the yeast. Don't be surprised if it starts explosively.
 
yea it has, i cam downstairs today to be greeted by lots of froth and it bubbling away happily :)

started to smell of eggs though, but from reading around thats normal :)
