Home made cider!!! This is very easy to make and pretty cheap.

You need:

Some yeast (wine yeast is probably the best)
A big clean 25-30 liter container
like 1-2 meters of small hose
duct tape or cork
25 liters of 100% apple juice
2 kg of sugar
a little bleach (a cap full)
a small bottle

First pour in a little bleach in the container and fill it up with water let it sit there to steralize for about a day. After that pour out the bleach and rinse the countainer well.

Pour in about half of the apple juice then pour in the sugar. Shake the countainer until the sugar is completely dissolved. Then pour in the yeast. If you buy dry yeast, you will need to prepare it first, there will be some instructions on the package. It's easy. After you've poured in the yeast, pour the rest of the juice. Make sure you leave some room above the juice to let some foam accumulate without spilling over. Shake the container really well again.

Next, seal the top of the container with duct tape so no air is allowed in. Then poke a hole at the top of the duct tape and force in the small hose about 2-5 cm in passed the tape. As for the other end of the hose, fill the small bottle about halfway with water then submerse the hose in the water. This will allow the CO2 to exit the container holding the juice, but won't allow air to enter the mixture.

Finally, you wait for it to ferment for no less than 3 weeks, or 1 month for a stronger cider, then you can start drinking you homemade cider. The fermenting cider should be placed somewhere indoors.
