Turbo cider too yeasty

[spudbasher]

Hi all, I,ve made a few t c,s now but am still having trouble with yeast rising on opening of the bottle.
I let it clear in the dj, then rack to 2ltr plastic pop bottles, add 1 level tsp of sugar and some ribena or other flavour to sweeten ,leave in warm a week or so ,then put in cool,then chill over night in fridge before drinking .
Without fail every time I open a bottle the yeast is pulled up with the bubbles.
Should I rack to another dj and fine leave a week then bottle?
Does fining remove too much yeast to have a successful secondary ferment .?

Any advices gratefully received,Spud :)

If i were you id leave adding the sugar to the last moment. Drinking little bits of yeast is not good :sick:

Leave it for longer in the bottle, give the yeast some time to compact at the bottom (it should only be a very thin layer anyway). Leaving it to condition for a couple of months and you'll notice the difference

Leave it in the cool for 2 weeks, instead of 12 hours. Seriously.

Just realised I misread - you put it in the cool before refrigerating it. For how long? I'm wondering whether a) it's overcarbonated, or b) you'd be better off in glass bottles. I've never had a problem of this sort.

Thanks all really appreciate the input, I think I am rushing things,I think I am bottling to early,getting to much yeast in bottles ,over priming, then not chilling long enough . Basically everything wrong!
I have only done 1 gall batches so far ,but my next batch is a 5 gall so i,m glad i,ve had the practice and good advice.
My main prob. now would be batch storing and chilling. Does turbo suit pressure barrels ?(my only option) and as for chilling ,does it look like I need a dedicated fridge?
thanks again , Spud.

Somehow I don't think the makers of "Marmite" would agree! :lol:

Don't add Ribena or any other syrupy flavour, it's adding to much sugar.
If you want to sweeten use an artificial sweetener like Canderal or yeast from HERE
