My melomel went through its first fermentation, I managed the fruit cap for 14 days, twice a day, then once a day for another 7 days. When I racked it into the second vessel, it was crystal clear. My question is, is it normal for a Melomel to look so clear so quickly?
 
It depends on the yeast, amount of pectin in the melomel, level of dissolved CO2 & the surrounding temp. But yes it can clear that quickly of managed right. I make a few wines and mead that have been clear within 30 days easy.
