turbo cider advice

[matty198111]

put my turbo on yesterday and checked it this mornig, on the top there seems to be a real thick head it looks like real thick heavy bubbles with white bits in does that sound normal, i will be able to get a pic of it this afternoon when the boss gets back with the camera.

i only ask as my lager didnt look like that, i know it has different ingredients but just looks unusual

thanks in advance

should add they are slightly off white in colour, they dont look like mould, as in the mould you get in a week old coffee cup.

hopefully its nothing but i dont want to give some to friends and they end up in the docs

Yes this is normal, now leave it alone untill its finished. Then enjoy. :

i havnt actually done anything to it just looked in the cupboard

getting worried now

there dont seem to be any bubbles coming through the bubbler after 24hrs



arghhhh

what has gone wrong

 

[queues likely]

are there bubbles in the cider at surface?, if there is sounds like an air leak round the bubbler area.

 

[matty198111]

yeah it does seem to be bubblin a little in side

i will go and check it for leaks now

 

[matty198111]

well i just replaced the lid and there is defo pressure there as it pushed the water level round

but there is not a lot of bubbles inside the bottle

maybe best to start again


im not sure if its cause i used apple juice and freshly picked blackberrys

Did you take a gravity reading?
What is the temperature?
