Turbo Cider halfway point

Post by PMH0810 » Fri Feb 08, 2008 9:02 am

The head had fianlly disappeared on my 1st TC attempt last night (knocked the batch up Saturday) so I added the final litre (bringing pot to 5ltr). Gravity was 1.020 and the TC looks like swamp water (smells okay, tastes like cider but is a bit too sweet still).

Can I expect it to clear and for its gravity to fall further (It started as 1.060 honey & apple juice with Allinson's best bread yeast)?

I find my TC takes about two weeks before it is ready for bottling and at 1020 yours sounds as if it has some way to go. Are small bubbles still rising? It will clear, given time.

Thank you for the prompt resonses - I'll bide my time then1

If it maintains the taste but becomes drier I'll be a very happy man...
