Sorry, I haven't been following this discussion but I'll throw in a comment 
anyway. Some months ago there was a discussion about sanitation and 
sterilization. I sterilize my cider with campden tablets and have yet 
to have an off batch. Jay countered that he never sterilizes his cider 
and has never had an off batch either. Great, do whatever works for you. 

Now, like I say, I haven't been following this so don't know if you sterilized 
your cider. If you didn't then perhaps this is a case where the wild beasties 
got you. Since you make beer successfully then your problem most likely isn't 
with your equipment. Next time try sterilizing your cider with campden tablets 
and see if you have any better luck. And don't give up.
