Mine took over 6 weeks to clear, and I didn't bother bottling it off the primary until it had been in there over 8 weeks. Don't plan on doing this unless you have a spare 5 gal carboy sitting around that you can afford to have full for at least 4-6 weeks.
Aside from that, yes, you should do this. I like it alot. I bottled mine still, in 12oz bottles. It's a nice refresher served over ice for me, and the wife loves it on the rocks with a splash of lemon-lime soda. I'm waiting to do another batch until we're about halfway done with this one, but I don't think that'll be too long.
Apfelwein ain't cider, and don't plan on having a drink that's sweet. It's a wine, and it's dry like a white wine, which I love.
