Subject: questions from a cider virgin 

Well seeing as I bottled a batch of beer last night, and I now have my 
carboy's empty.  I was toying with the idea of trying to make some cider. 
I've been brewing beer for about two years, and I fairly familar with 
the basic concepts, but I had a couple of questions that I wanted to  
bounce off of you experience cider brewers. 

1) Is it nesseccary to find un-pasturized cider, or will pasturized  
   cider work with yeast.   

2) What initial Gravity reading should I be shooting for.   

3) will ale or larger yeasts work, or should I try to get champagne yeast. 

4) I would like to make a sparkling cider.  If anyone has a recipe, or  
   any other tips for a first timmer, I would appreciate them.

Subject: apple juice 

Is it possible to make hard cider from apples that have passed through a 
juicer? I have a few gallons of cider, but but my juicer sitting on the 
counter seems to call to me -- would this work? Could I augment my cider with 
this juice?  Has anyone tried it, and if so what were your results. 

Thanks for the information.
