Subject: Basic Cider Question 

Greetings, 
        I will apologize in advance for repeating questions in past issues, 
but I have started reading the digest at issue #47 and don't know if there are 
archives. I am a homebrewer working on my first batch of cider and the 
following questions came up. 

        1)  How to make a 4-8% EtOH batch of cider that is slightly sweet and 
            bottle conditioned/carbonated. 
        2)  Can any of the large number of good ale or lager yeasts be used 
            instead of champagne yeast. 
        3)  How important are: pectin enzyme, acid blend, Ca++ levels, pH in 
            general? 

        If these questions have been answered before please just let me know 
where to get the issues in question and yes I have already ransacked the 
library and bugged all the 'experts' I know. BTW I am fermenting this first 
batch in a 5 gal. carboy with a blow off tube ala homebrew; please correct me 
if that's wrong. 

Thanking you in advance,
