Hi,
first attempt at making apple cider; new house with an apple tree, so why not I thought.
picked, crushed and juiced the apples.
added crushed campden tables to juice 24 hours before pitching cider yeast. (pic Attached)
been happily bubbling away through airlock for last week.
took top off and has this formation on top.
does this look like normal krausen ?
should I leave it until fermentation stops or remove ?
I have pressed another 8L of juice which I was going to add , but if spoiled, I may keep separate
any advice welcome.

last week.
 
It looks ok to me, but I’m not an expert.
I’ve been using the same yeast.
It should just fall and settle, I would leave it for now.
It won’t hurt to leave it for a few weeks.
 
I've done the same but in a Pinter, well 2 Pinters, been on 7 days so far. I've no idea which to tell if fermented out as my iSpindel died an untimely death. Anyone have any idea how long fermentation under pressure will take? Used MJ cider yeast.
 
mine has slowed down now and occasional bubble.
drained the sediment at bottom off a week ago
