Turbo Cider Help Needed (With Picture!)

[TomD]

Dear All,

I have made 1 gallon turbo cider a few times with my own twists and variants. I'm always happy with the results.

Last weekend I decided to be a man and make 20 litters. It’s been going since 26th Jan (8 Days) and now has foam on the top. When it first fermented there was some foam, then as normal it backed off. Now it’s up again.

It smells very C02ish with a little of something else. Wouldn’t say it smelled off.

Is it all over and some bad stuff has got in?

Any advice as to what is going on? I think all my other batches have had nothing left on the top when bottling.
Thanks for any advice you can give!

Tom

looks like fermentation to me - cider is likely to take a good 3 weeks

Thanks for the reassurance; I'm sure it’s all in my head!
Just the normal "first big batch" nerves!

26th of Feb?? It's only the 3rd of Feb now, that's a bit back to the future :rofl: :lol:

Yeah, cider can do that. You must not be doing it right! :whistle:
