I had a look at the cider again today and couldn’t help but check the fruit mead. Wow, I can see through it! Some of the fruit has floated to the top and some of it stayed on the bottle but most of whatever was floating around in the mead has settled on the bottom in an inch thick layer. The others have shown no attempt at clearing.
The cider is doing well. I added another litre yesterday and one more this morning. The demi has space for another half litre but I’ll leave that for a day or two more. There’s not much foam so I’m not too worried about that but still keeping on the safe side and giving it plenty of space to foam up 
Already planning a winter cider if this turns out well, mulled wine style along with a cyser (honey mixed with apple juice) Have to get different yeast to use with the next batch to compair.
I’ve finally gotten around to racking this batch of mead. Tasting it I find it tastes more like red wine than anything else but I think that would be down to the yeast I used, it tastes pretty hot (I think that’s what they call it) for the moment and one case it’ll be tasting hotter!
I’ve learnt a good bit from this first brew in both doing it and researching more, the next one should move a little faster.
I’ve racked it off to 5 demi’s as I had planned, the fifth about 3/4 full. 3 of them have been flavoured
1. Mixed fruit – 350g of strawberry, blackberrys, and raspberrys.
2. 1 Vanilla pod
3. 1 Habenaro chilli (I got two of them but went with the safer option )
The fourth one might get some mango but that can wait. After about an hour all the airlocks seem to have activity in them, especially the fruit one.
Now to sit back and wait some more, hoping they all turn out drinkable 
I’ve also attempted some Turbo Cider. Tesco’s had pure pressed apple juice, the cloudy kind, so I got 5 litres of it to try out. I’ve half filled a demijohn and added nutrient and wine yeast, it’s recommended to leave it for 24-48 hours so the vigorous fermentation has passed but I have a feeling that the rest will need to be added in two stages so it doesn’t fountain.
