Heh,'
     That all sounds good. I have made ales and meads,  and have
just talked with others about cider, but I would say it would
take about 3 weeks for the fermentation to finish, then bottle it and seal  
it for 
about 3 to 4 weeks. It should be drinkable, and will just get better  with
age.

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?
