As EdWort suggested I "brewed" two apfelweins, about 2 weeks apart. My first batch is going into its fourth week. It's darkening, starting to clear a bit, but still bubbling. I noticed after 2.5 weeks the bubbles started to actually pile up around the top in a neat looking ring.
I also noticed at least 2-3 weeks ago that there were tiny white solid looking particles on the surface of the liquid. There is also a very pale translucent film surrounding them I can tell when I move it around a bit. It LOOKS like, and I am hoping to the beer gods, yeast... but... well I want to see what the pros here make of it.
It was very difficult to take good pics as there is moisture and condensation on the inside of the carboy that the camera had a hard time getting through. You can see the neat geometric CO2 bubbles piling up and also a ring of yeast debris (I guess) left from the more vigorous part of the early fermentation. I circled the parts in question and these are the best photos I could manage:
