I started a batch of Apfelwein with some 100% apple juice that wasn't clear. I was wondering if it will clear with time (only been 2 weeks) or if you end up with the same cloudiness as you start with.

It will become cloudy in a couple of days and remain so for a few weeks. In the 4th week, the yeast will begin to drop out and it will become clear. After at least 4 weeks, you can keg or bottle, but it is ok to leave it in the carboy for another month or so. Racking to a secondary is not necessary.
