Now let me get this straight, I should put one camden tablet per gallon, 
let that sit (how long?), aerate then pitch the yeast?  I plan on using 
ale yeast and a boiled apple juice starter.  Last year I boiled one 
batch (lost alot of "appleness") and the other I did nothing to and I 
got vinegar (which was actually quite good for vinegar, but not what I 
was shooting for).  The batch that turned to vinegar did so I assume 
because of a bateria infestation which the yeast did not overcome.  I'd 
like to sterilize this time to be safe but, hypothetically, if I were to 
get a real good starter going would there be enough yeasties to fight 
off the beasties in short order?  Last year I just pitched the dry ale 
yeast into the cider. 

Cider has just this weekend become available in mass quantities in 
Northern NJ.
