Welcome aBorg!

Just a note, the cider may be drier than you are used to (ie Woodchuck) since fruit is highly fermentable. To get a sweet cider you will either need to backsweeten (easiest way) or kill the yeast when you hit your target taste and abv (more advanced). There is also a cider section on this board where you may be able to get some tips or ask questions.

"Well it was my first time ever, so I took the beer from the fermenter, siphoned it into a stock pot with the honey and water mixture, and stirred. Hen proceeded to bottle. Then put them in my fridge. I tried one the next night, and there was zero carbonation."


Wow, your instructions must really have sucked for real that they didn't say to wait for at least 4 weeks while conditioning at room temp before putting any bottles anywhere near a fridge.

You are at the right place now, we will steer you though.
