After umpteen turbo ciders and assorted varieties, I decided to make a non-turbo version this week.
A friend dropped me off four large carrier bags of assorted apples - crab, cookers and eaters - which I have juiced. The juice has been in demijohns for a day with a crushed campden tablet in each. I plan to treat them like turbos after 36 hours, except that I will not bother with the mug of strong tea, and I will use pectalose.
Question for anybody who has done this before - my juice has currently separated to a layer of fine sediment, the juice, and then a foam head (not a fermentation head). Should I pitch and ferment with all of this in place (obviously a vigorous shake to mix), or try and extract just the juice?
