I would suggest hitting it with campden tablets, and adding Sodium 
Benzoate. That should nuke the yeast.

A couple of guys made a great cider in the Grand Rapids MI market for a

Goldfinch was the product name and searching old Cider digest files  
could probably get you a name and addresss.  Their experiences would be 
worth noting.  wassail, jim booth
