My first batch of Apfelwein after a day has little white islands of something floating around on top? is this normal?

Almost certainly yeast floc. It will prolly clear out rather spectacularly in the 3-4 week range. I leave mine in the primary for 8wks by default.

That's yeast doing their thing. One thing to remember with Apfelwein is that it will take A WHILE to be done. Although it is tempting to keep an eye on it 24x7, I wouldn't recommend it. Just set it aside for a while, forget about it, and come back in a month or so to check on its clarity.
