Leave it in the fridge for a good 4 weeks. If it doesn't drop out after that there's a good chance it won't.

4 weeks? wow, I woulda said give it 4 days. I am not a pro though. i guess it is time for SCIENCE!

Put it in, and check it every couple days. Then report.

tbh I like my homebrews nice and hazy. Sets my homebrew apart from a commercial brewery.

It definitely may clear up before then. I highly doubt it would clear up after 4 weeks though.

I get chill haze on my brews since I do not use a wort chiller yet. Usually by 2 weeks in the fridge they are nice and clear. YMMV
