I've got a gallon of local cider going in the basement right now. 
It's been filtered, and maybe pasturized, but no preservatives have 
been added.  Here's the timeline so far: 

Sep 15 - remove 12.5 oz cider from gallon and replace with frozen 
concentrate (also no preservatives).  Add a package of english ale yeast. 

Sep 18 - still not much action.  Added 1/2 tsp yeast nutrient. 

Sep 20 - head has formed. 

Sep 23 - head falls. 

It's still bubbling away.  How long does it take for a gallon to 
ferment out in a situation like this?
