Hi all - just a couple of quick questions

I started my first turbo last weekend (nice and simple - 4.5l tesco value apple juice, 1 tsp yeast nutrient, 1 packet of young's cider yeast all in a demijohn OG 1.042) and everything seemed to be done 4 days later so I tested with a hydrometer and it was at 1.000 so 5.6% :D . Very, very little activity now so my questions:

1) It's not clearing very quickly - how much should I expect to clear before I bottle it? I'd read somewhere to wait for 3" or more (up to half a demijohn...) to clear but only about 1/2" has cleared since Wednesday...

2) When I come to bottle it does 1tsp sugar for fizz and 1 splenda for sweetness sound about right?

Cheers

hi GK,
1tsp for fizz is good as for splenda it depends how sweet you like it.
I normally wait for it to clear approx 1/2 way down dj before i bottle. :cheers: ken
