I followed the directions to a T, it's been 3 weeks and it's still as brown as the Mississippi river, it hasent even begun to clear. Should I let it sit or toss it and try again?

I brewed BierMuchers Helles Belles to the letter, Its pretty tasty but I have a strange soapy taste up front where you would normally get that little bit of hop bite in a Helles.
