Nope. Way too much work for this level of brewing.

Get a balloon, a rubber band & something to poke holes with (needle, safety pin, bit of wire, etc).

Get a balloon, wash it inside and out with distilled vinegar or gin. Soap and water as a last resort. Poke a few holes in it.

Put the balloon inside the bottle, stretching the mouth of it over the bottle. Hold in place with a rubber band.

The balloon will pop up and inflate slightly, in a few hours to overnight. You will hear it hissing quietly the whole time cider ferments.

When the balloon falls down, active fermentation has stopped. Rack & drink. Or, very very slowly & gently pour off the cider, without disturbing the sediment, then stop before sediment gets in your container. If you're desperate, pour the last cloudy bit of liquid through a coffee filter, still trying to keep the bulk of the sediment out.

Here's a representative picture from the internet.
