    Need a good Hard Apple Cider recipe!!

    Does anyone have a good "from scratch" hard apple cider recipe?? I have a pile of apples and thought this would be something good to do with 'em. I have experience with home brewing beer and thought maybe I'd give cider a go if the recipe was good. Many Thanks!
