Cake questions.

[BeerBelly]

Ok i have made a turbo ribena :ugeek: my question is this, it started very slowly, then started to cake up nicely, that lasted about three days, thats gone now and been replaced with bubbles and froth the bubbler is doing the constant bubble gas release :thumb: Is all this action normal? and when it stops being so active how long before i transfer to another demi to clear please?

Sounds completely normal to me :thumb: .

It depends on a number of factors like temperature, type of yeast, type of fruit/juice fermented, whether you put yeast nutrient in there etc, shouldn't be and more than two weeks (often a lot quicker) to ferment out, just wait until it stops bubbling and take a hydrometer reading for two consecutive days and if it's the same on both days it's done, then you can rack it :, if you use good finings it will be drinkable within a week after racking.

EDIT:

will be drinkable within a week after racking.

Not always the case, again depends on other factors like residual sugar, type of fruit used etc, but usually within a week.
