As this'll be my next home brewing job, I'll cut to the chase :grin: :

1: How do you make a dry cider?
2: How do you make a sweet cider?

For dry press the apples and ferment the juice with a wild or natural yeast, unsuprisingly, to dryness.

For sweet press the apples and go through a process known as keeving. see http://www.ukcider.co.uk/wiki/index.php/Keeving

Oops , I should've mentioned it's a TC I'll be trying, sorry trunky. Is it a case of you get it how it is at the end?

In that case, ferment to dryness and add non fermentable sweetener seems the best bet.
