yes this is good it shows the yeasst is being put into suspension by an active fermentation also when the ferment stops it should drop clear so watch for that as an aid when to bottle

I made my turbo cider in August, today I poured a pint and there seems to be an off smell, almost like "fishy" is it time to toss it out and start over?

Hi Paul,
If it's still in the demijohn then i would rack it, i had a similar thing, although not 'fishy' but a nasty smell. I racked the cider and all was fine, smell went and cider tasted great.
Decided to join this great place instead of reading threads
I read the recipe on here for the Turbo Cider & decided to give it a go.
Started 2 weeks ago...
Two days after starting
All topped off and bubbling like mad man
...i also started the Cinnamon Turbo Cider of on saturday, I hope i did right by putting a stick in the juice ? i also used champagne yeast as a experiment, just waiting to top it of.
Question Time
The yeast on the the top looks different to the the other batch i am making...is that down to the Champagne yeast ?
How long do i leave the stick in for ?
Every tree and flower has a purpose, Every mountain and stream has a place, Every occasion has a reason,Every cause has an effect.!
Farmercoop,
I wouldn`t worry. Every batch i do always looks slightly different than previous ones. Even if i use the same juice or yeast, every batch has its own unique "character". Thats the beauty of turbo!
the choice is yours the longer you leave it the stronger the stronger the taste will be have a little taste and see what you think .ive never made the cider with cinnamon so havent got a clue about timescale

I think I'm going to sweeten my next batch with juice or maybe concentrate will work better.
Anyways, I wanted to ask when it's best to add cinnamon sticks to your cider? I know in beer making if you add it during the primary ferment it scrubs some of the flavor out. Just wondering what you guys usually do/have done with some success. Thanks!
