My 1st batch of cider started at 1.070. It's been bubbling away for about a 
month now. It's clearing some, but still isn't really clear. Now the SG reads 
1.010. I don't want a really dry, alcoholic cider. Is there any easy way to 
stop the fermentation, clear the stuff, prime & bottle for a little 
carbonation?y

        I'm a cider newbie also.  After some advice from this  
journal I went out a tried a batch. 

1 gallon fresh apple cider from a Wstford orchard 
1 cup of brown sugar 
1/2 packet of cider mulling spices 
2 packets of Red Star Ale yeast 

I simmered the cider for 30 mins.  then added the brown sugar  
and spices and simmered for another 15.  Cooled the cider  
pitched yeast after rehydrating them.  I used ale years to give me a  
sweeter product.  I let ferment for 3 weeks.  One in a 3 gal carboy.   
last two in one gal jug.  I added a tablespoon of corn sugar at  
bottling to give it a slight carbonation.  It been aging four weeks  
now.  I'm cracking open the bottle, I bottle whole batch in a gallon  
glass jug.  I will report on results.
