 Cider Making
If the cider is to be served slightly carbonated, bottle in beer bottles with 1/2 teaspoon of sugar per pint of cider (dissolve the sugar in water and add to the cider before bottling).
Cider is traditionally fermented at whatever is the outside ambient temperature, however, if you are fermenting with a pure yeast culture it may be better to ferment at the temperature specified with the culture.
In France, cider is produced by the Charmat process (oten used to produce sparkling wines) and is highly carbonated and more like an apple wine than traditional English cider.

 Waitrose.com - The Corker on British Cider - Waitrose Food Illustrated
Unlike beer, it's made from fruit; unlike beer, it is intrinsically acidic.
Personally, I prefer cider made from the often tannic and relatively juiceless cider varieties; that tannic bite helps give the drink a grown-up complexity and depth, just as it does in red wine, and cider-apple ciders are nearly always better with food than those made from culinary and dessert apples.
The main difference between cider and wine is that apples contain less sugar than grapes, so its alcoholic strength is lower.

Most cider is made from fermented apple juice.

 Talisman Farm cider info
Good cider is a little bit like white wine, but with less alcohol (closer to the alcohol content of beer).
Cider can vary from somewhat-sweet to very dry, and from no carbonation at all to as fizzy as champagne.
The bitterness comes from tannin, which gives the cider a more complex, interesting, and balanced taste--much as the tannin in wine or the hops in beer.

 THE SCIENCE OF CIDERMAKING Part 1 - Introduction
Cider did not seem to last as a serious competitor to wine (possibly due to punitive taxation), and by the end of the 19th century it seems to have been made without much care on most West Country farms.
In Germany and Switzerland, little distinction is made between dessert, cider and juice apples and the ciders are very acceptable locally although somewhat thin and acidic to an English palate.
The word 'cider' itself is supposed to be derived from Greek or even Hebrew sources and simply means 'strong drink', although a millenium of usage now ties it in with apples.

 Making Cider Vinegar at Home, HYG-5346-97
Cider is made from the winter and fall varieties of apples (summer and green apples do not contain enough sugar).
Lower temperatures do not always produce a usable vinegar, and higher ones interfere with the formation of the "mother of vinegar." Mother of vinegar is a mat that forms on the bottom of fermenting wine that has gone bad.
Oxygen is spread throughout the mixture by stirring it daily and by letting air reach the fluid through a cheesecloth filter, which is used in place of a regular lid.
