Now, if I was to make a larger quantity, would it be very bad to use a food grade bucket with much more space than the volume I was making right? (i.e. to make 10L in a 25L bucket)

No problem with that at all. Carbon dioxide is heaver than air, so a layer of co2 will build up on the surface of the liquid, protecting your brew.

Thanks!

I am obviously taking the moniker of the article quite literally.

That will work fine. We made a cider last year where we filled a demi-john, stuck in some yeast and it was lovely. See it's very easy!

SBillings also had a good idea about serving the cider. If it's too dry just mix in some apple juice to taste in the glass.

Actually, that was your husband's idea.

Should it smell um...funky? There is a really pungent aroma of sour apple mixed with the scent of the Ramble Inn following a match.
