Mozart said:If you still have a layer of froth on top, it's almost certainly not done fermenting.
SG readings are the best way to make the determination, but were it my cider, I's probably let it sit for a couple of weeks first.
I can sympathize, though, patience regarding this hobby doesn't always come easily!

On the apple skins I have been informed, unfortunately I washed the apples which you should not do, I have now been told. Will give the cider a slight shake to see if it gets going again, otherwise I will leave alone . Picking more apples today for next lot, not sure if I should risk going wild yeast route again.
Sorry yes you are right it was sg was 1.04. Gave it a shake and started to froth. I am going to leave it for another week. It does seem very dark almost black green in colour. Cloudy . Is that normal
