I've just put together my first Cider brew, from concentrate Apple juice, some Wyeast WLP775 liquid yeast and a touch of yeast nutrient. I used this video as my inspiration!

After putting together a simple starter last night, I've decanted half of the starter into a sterilised jar to use at a later date and put the rest in an empty 5 litre water bottle, with about 4.5 litres of apple juice and nothing else. Apparently this should produce a Cider of about 4.3% abv. More than happy with that as I'm not interested in high strength Cider.
I'm hoping this will compete with the Stowford Press my Wife likes to sample!
