How long for beer to clear?

[kgodwin1]

My American amber has now been fermenting for 7 days in a 1 gallon carboy.

Give it another 2 weeks to give the yeast time to clear up any off flavors, and to drop out and compact at the bottom.

Longer than 7 days... let it go until specific gravity is stable and it tastes right, then cold-crash in your fridge (assuming you have one and can fit a 1 gal jug in it) for about 3 days. Should be pretty clear by then.

Awesome. Thanks guys

relax... you can't hurry it.

just leave it for at least another week or two...

if you simply can't resist messing with it, then do a secondary fermentation to get it off the yeast cake, and let THAT rest a couple weeks.

either way, it's a couple weeks.

and then into the bottles.

Yeah, I definitely wouldn't secondary it. But that's just me.

Unless your dry hopping and even if you are just leave it in there for another week. Your gravity will and probably already has leveled out. 7 more days and your safe and sound to prime and bottle. Relax, keep it sanitized, and cheers!

Should have 10-11 tasty sud bottles there.
