I found this for you on the internet:
for 5 gallons of juice, (chop and press first of course)
3 teaspoons of brewing yeast
1 kg granulated sugar
put your juice in a clean bucket and place in bath covered in a muslin, weighted down on corners to stop vinegar flies, leave 2 days till first natural fermentation is compleate then place in a clean bucket thro a sieve or muslin.
add yeast
disolve sugar in a pan with 1-2 pints of boiling water water and add to bucket.cover with lid and keep warm for 10 days-2 weeks when liquid is clear and there s brown stuff on the top and its stopped bubbling take to a cool place for 24 hrs.
rack off into bottles add a pinch of sugar to each bottle
leave for a few weeks.
Cider Recipe
18lbs (8Kgs) Sweet Windfalls
1 level tsp citric acid
Initial specific Gravity(sp) of Juice 1055
Exrtract juice & strain into a gallon jar fitte with an airlock. Keep in a warm kitchen to start fermentaion slowly at first but should be rapid after a week.
If it has a heavy deposti in the bottom rack into a clean jar & refit air lock & leave for 2 weeks.
Rack again & leave for 5 weeks & check the SP (should be around 1035) add the citric acid rack again & move somewhere cool & leave for a month or two the SP should now be around 1005 ish. Taste it & if it tastes OK either drik straight away having booked a coupleof weeks off work first or transfer to cider bottles & add a spoon of sugar to each one & drink more moderatly

I make wine without a kit for years.
eg; 4lb peaches crushed
put in a bucket with half gallon of hot water and mash and stir. pour in a bag of sugar and stir. pour half gallon of cold water to make to 1 gallon. add a sachet of yeast, place a tea towel over bucket and leave in a warm place for a few weeks. sieve the juice into bottles and leave cork or lid on loose for around a month and when it hardly bubbles push cork home.drink in a couple of months.
if you want it stronge pour some juice in a icecream tub and place in freezer wait until some ice has formed then take out ice. (which is water) booze does not freeze.
