Turbo cider help

[bigsteve2007]

hello, ok i have decided to give turbo cider another chance and i have followed a simple recipe for 3L of cider. basically i added 3L of apple juice and beer yeast (all i had). the sugar content is pretty high in the juice so decided not to add anymore to see how it goes! basically i did this on the 27th and now there is no more bubbles going though the airlock at all (when posted it was the 31st). But it looks like this.

Should i say it is done and start bottling or what? should it have cleared?

Those little bubbles that are rising to the top means it's still fermenting

To be certain it has stopped fermenting, use your hydrometer to check the gravity, when it hasn't changed between 2 readings 24 hours apart it isn't fermenting :thumb:
If you haven't got a hydrometer, buy one they are about £2 and are essential if you want to produce consistent home brew

One of the greatest, and hardest learnt, parts of HB is patience! :

The little container that your hydrometer came in doubles up as a handy trial jar, just don't forget to sterilise it!! :) handy!
