Default Beer clarity for Kegging

I am getting ready to Keg my Beer soon. Fermentation stopped a while ago, I added clarifier and reduced the temp in the room where it's all kept. How clear should the beer be when I go to bottle this stuff? Right now I cannot see through the liquid like I could my wine that would be sitting for 3-4 weeks.

What type of beer are you talking about? Different beers have different levels of clarity and color, so this is important to know.

Salute!

Depending on the clarifier you used, 2-3 days should be enough. If the top of the beer is darker than the lower section, it is still clearing.
