A lot of the apples were neighborhood apples, so we'll see how it turns out. <br /><br />Thanks for the tip about the auto siphoning. I just put my cider in the closet two days ago, and had been wondering how I was going to siphon it off.

So much depends on the amount of natural sugar and yeast already in your juice, what kind of yeast you added and the temp you're storing it at. Just try not to rush it -- you definitely want it to be almost not bubbling at all before you rack.
