I started mine today.. :)
Don't laugh..
Sun tea jar, wine bottle's cork, aquarium tubing, and a mason jar... :)
The pulp from apples and blueberries, only 1.5 cups sugar as I don't 
want it to be too alcoholic, but I think the sweet will balance the tart 
of the berries..
Anyway, Ron drilled a hole in the cork, I inserted the tubing and set up 
the jar to vent into a mason jar filled with water.  We'll see how it 
turns out.  I'm not quite sure how long I have to wait to have a 
drinkable cider, though.  Any further advice on how long and what to do 
next after the wait is over and the bubbling stops?
