Still fermenting?

[MrsEggy]

Hello all,
My husband and I started a cider almost two weeks ago. Our airlock is still bubbling, is that normal? Our porter slowed down after less then a week. I was hoping you all might have some insight on how long fermentation takes on cider.

Thanks

My last one was finished in about 5 days, but some go longer. there are reasons for airlock bubbling besides fermentation- like changes in temperature or barometric pressure- so the only way to know if fermentation is done is via hydrometer readings.
