Turbo Cider from cloudy apple juice

[old dog new tricks]

Hi all, quick question, i knocked together a quick cider as seen pressed apple juice reduced in the supermarket.

5 ltr batch
4ltr Pressed Apple juice
0.5 ltr cheap Apple Juice (from concentrate)
70g Sugar
Strong Tea
5g pectalose
CML Cider Yeast

SG1050

Fermented out quickly, left for 2 weeks settled out at FG1000 , but very cloudy.

I added finings and put out in the garage for 2 weeks, still not clearing, conscious that I need to bottle it or it will not carbonate if i wait any longer.

Question is and excuse my ignorance should cloudy pressed AJ clear? or does it stay cloudy?

I have only ever used the cheaper clear AJ and it works great clears up nicely.

Thanks

Tbh it really depends on what is in it. Do you know if its real juice or from concentrate?

real juice not from concentrate the Asda extra special stuff was reduced to 50p per bottle as going out of date, but fermented straight away so no issues that way

Cloudyness could come from pectin in the apples.
You can get pectolytic enzyme to prevent this & it's often used in fruit wine recipies.

i put some pectolase in a teaspoon as directed, generally add this to all my wines and ciders
