Hard Cider Experiment

So Sheila has become a fan of some hard ciders, especially some of the "craft brewed" ones that she's tried when we're at beer bars.  So I put together some experimental batches to see if I can successfully homebrew some.  For two of the batches, I used some very tasty fresh cider from a local orchard that they were selling at Keystone Homebrew Store.  The plan is let these age until next fall, and see what the results are.
Batch #1:
1 gallon Solebury Orchard cider
1 tsp yeast nutrient
Wyeast 4766 cider yeast

Batch #2:
1 gallon Solebury Orchard cider
1 tsp yeast nutrient
Danstar Nottingham Ale Yeast

Batch #3:
1 gallon Nature's Choice organic apple juice (no preservatives)
8 oz corn sugar
1 tsp yeast nutrient
Wyeast 4766 cider yeast
