Hey all,

So about a week or so ago I started Apple cider (kit) and put it into the FV with the yeast etc. The OG was 1.038.

I just checked it today and it is only 1.030. It is still bubbling away but the kit instructions said about 4 to 6 days?

I put Dark Fruit cider on at the same time and that is about 1.018 gravity at the moment.

Should it take this long? I read that gravity should be around 1.008ish.
 
At the moment its still fermenting so thats a good sign
I would say just hang on in there.Some wines are slow and the reasons can be many.
In the old days a slow n steady fermentation was welcolmed as it produced the finest wines.
