Definitely google for lots of details. However, simple apple cider is
very easy. Just add a good dry ale yeast to 5 gallons of apple juice
(pastuerized is OK, but preservatives are bad) and ferment as usual.
Just bottle, age, and drink. You can carbonate it like beer for
sparkling or not - up to you. It should usually be aged a pretty
good while - it takes about a year for mine to get crystal clear.
You can add sugar, honey, or other fermentables to boost the alcohol, etc.
