what sort of timescale are we looking at for the alcohol to acid transformation - is there a way to see / tell when the alcohol is gone?

Add its best, use pH paper or titrate as shown against a known control.

In terms of transformation, leave a good while - its not going to go off as the acid is too high for bacterial action. Couple of weeks does it for me unless its a huge batch.

I wish I could get hands on a few gallons of good, very cheap cider up here I'd do a batch for share. I'll have to do white wine now
