[thunda_600]

its ok about the racking and clearing , aid already answered it in a earlier post , i think i just sampled to much of the turbo cider, its rather potent.

Also saw them there they do seem rather "thin" in construction though compared to a normal (old type) D'John.

top it up with Apple Juice.

[thunda_600]

will it ferment ok, i think the fermentation has stopped this morning in the cider so hopefully it will ferment ok when i add the apple juice

[Aid]

it's still going to have some yeast available for the sugar in the new juice. it'll bubble again.

ok aid thanks for that i had the same issue with my red wine thats clearing on my other post, was going to top up with red merlot from the shops will it clear ok after being topped up with the merlot.
