Trying to brew cider for the first time here, may I ask some questions and get some advice from more experienced people here?

I bought a simple plastic airlock with a rubber gasket, some general purpose yeast (for bread, not designed for brewing), and this juice from the supermarket: https://www.coles.com.au/product/coles-apple-juice-2l-2531530

  1. How much of an air gap do I leave below the lid?

  2. Do I just drill a hole through the bottlecap and put the gasket and airlock in without sterilising?

  3. Temperatures are ranging from 15 to 20C here in Australia right now. Is this too cold? How long do I ferment it for?

  4. Do I pour out some of the juice then stir the yeast to dissolve?

  5. Is it true that if I reuse the yeast in this batch in future batches, it will slowly get better at fermenting apple juice?

When applying for government roles, is it better to disclose this stuff or just leave it out? On one hand, I know on paper there are diversity/disability hiring policies and accommodations. In practice, the job market is extremely competitive and it doesn't seem like a wise idea to give employers any excuse to not choose you. Also in reality, although there are laws against discrimination in hiring, this is nearly impossible to prosecute because employers can give any excuse as to why they did not hire you. What is your personal experience with this? If you work in a specific sector, are there disability recruiting programs? Edit: also include what organisation you work for
