Turbo Cider very cloudy

[joemarshalljm]

I'm making a batch of Turbo Cider, I put in in about a week ago. I used Tesco not-from-concentrate apple juice, added some sugar (which I stupidly didn't dissolve very well, should of heated it) and youngs super wine yeast (all I had)

Its almost stopped fermenting, but its very very cloudy (see image: http://imgur.com/aJz4k) and doesn't smell great. Have I messed this up? Should it look this way? I'm new to all of this, and want to see what I should do to salvage it.

You have a Pectin haze!
Add 1 teaspoon per gallon of Pectolas, that should sort your problem.
If not, fine filter it.

Cider does not smell good while fermenting (unless you enjoy rotten eggs smell that is). Just leave it for a few weeks and then rack it. That should also imrprove the cloudiness.

That's a normal level of cloudiness for your stage of fermentation.

But it will probably not clear that easily as you have used dessert apple juice which does not have a lot of pectolase in to clear the pectin which is what is making it so cloudy. Add some at the rate described by evanvine and it should clear very well. Fining it is more hassle in my opinion - pectolase is dead easy and very cheap. You can buy it from all homebrew shops.
