Default Most basic of basics

Sounds like you want to make balloon wine.

Enpty the apple juice equally into two 1 gallon milk jugs. Boil a
pint of water and turn off the heat as you mix in 2 cups of sugar
until clear. Do that twice and add each one to the gallon and allow
to cool. Each jug should be 3/4 full. Bread yeast will work to some
degree, but Champagne Yeast from a wine supply store would be much
better. If you have the thermometer the applie juice needs to below
100 Degrees Farenheit before adding the yeast. After adding the
yeast, attached a balloon to the top of the jug and wait a day. You
may want to slightly shake the jugs after one day..If it doesn't foam
right a way, place the jug next to a heat source, like a heat
register. The balloon will inflate from the carbon dioxide given off.
If the balloon comes off, put it back on. It basically keeps the bugs
out. Eventaully the balloon will deflate while on the jug after two
to three weeks. When this happens, your wine is ready to drink your
sparkling cider wine. The sediment at the bottom is known as brewers
yeast. It takes bad but is full of vitimins and will clean your drain
dish/sink pipes out very well. Yeast will eat the grease and decayed
food that can plug up the drain pipes in your house.
