Well i bottled the turbo cider today in brown glass bottles and put them in fridge on there side and then a few hours later i checked up on em and when i held them up to the light i saw something lying on the bottom. Its like the dead yeast you get at the bottom of a dj and when i held it up it started to mix back in the cider but still leaveing an outline, what is this and can i still drink it ?? Im sure the fermentaion has finished.

If you bottled them today, did you put sugar in to prime, cos if you did you should leave them at the same temp you fermented them at for a week, before transfering to a cool/cold place, otherwise you will have no fizz.
The stuff is yeast, if you leave in fridge for a couple of weeks it should mainly stick to the bottom of the bottles, if you store them upright, its not best practice to store crown cork bottles on their side.
Its actually better to keg your TC for a couple of weeks then bottle using a little bottler or similar, that way you will get less yeast in the bottles.
Yeast won't kill you though, it will just make ur backside a bit more tunefull and fruity smelling, and it has the added bonus of having loads of B vitamins in it.

UP's right.
Keep it in a keg for a fortnight or untill clear.

Yep, put them back into the warm for a week or so, the yeast will wake back up.. :thumb:
