I let it sit for 6 months in the carboy, at no point did it really take off, added additional yeast and all that. Eventually bottled it, but ended up dumping them later, had a really tart bite. Didn't really affect my beer making, but I've never made a cider from real cider since. I just use apple juice from the grocery store. My thought at the time was that they sold me stuff that was chemically pasteurized, or that I had a wild yeast or some sort. Still don't know what the deal was, but might have to give cider a go again.
