This year was our first attempt, and we just kept things really simple. Like you, we got 5 gallons of fresh cider from an area farm. Didn't add anything else but campden tablets. Pitched a Wyeast mead yeast - we'd read that it can yield a more semi-dry, semi-sweet cider. I take it you're in Portland? We're in Eugene - I found your blog when looking for some sites about wedding beers. Like you, we also aren't big hopheads (I wonder how many of us there are in the NW...)

The honey doesn't seem to make the resulting cider sweeter, though the choice of yeast makes a huge difference. Thanks for the idea! I should try just straight apples and yeast to see what happens.
