Just plant yourself an apple tree, pretty easy to do if you can be patient.

Sorry, couldn't help myself Greg.

Slyr31, I've got to say dude, your hydrometer readings are confusing the hell out of me. I'm not quite sure where you're deriving your numbers from? To have numbers like 2.5 and 7.22.. are we talking about Plato? In which case ignore me, because I don't use Plato.

From the pic of your hydro in post #11 I would see that as 1.030 (or sometimes written 1030). As others have said, as your cider fermenters you would expect the hydrometer to sink and give you a number closer to 1.000.

You should also take into account possible temperature corrections as your hydro is probably calibrated to a set degree which should be written or stamped somewhere on the hydro itself.
