Done fermenting but....

Ok, my Mr Beer WCPA was done fermenting yesterday but is still pretty cloudy. I know I can let it sit longer to let some of the cloudyness settle but the fermentation is done so would it hurt to bottle it now? Could this beer be a cloudy type of beer? Help me ole Beer Kenobi, yer my only hope!

You've got the right of it.

Yes, letting it sit will help it clear. Bottling now won't hurt anything, except the clarity.

It will even still clear in the bottle but you will have A LOT of junk settle in the bottle and it will come out when you pour. Wait another week or two at least and you will be happy.

Thanks a lot for the mind easer. Now because I am going to be carbonating in the bottles when it clears will there be enough yeast in the clear beer to eat the sugar in the bottles to create the carbonation?

As long as you don't filter, there's plenty of yeast to carbonate in "clear" beer.
