Clearing the brew

[Leadgolem]

Wouldn't 24 hours be long enough at 40 degrees for all the sediment to sink? If the stuff drops at cold temps it seems like once it's a certain temp the stuff is going to drop? Or does it truly take a few days for it to clear up?

Anxious to get some bottled, the carboy has been in the fridge for 24 hours and looks pretty dang clear for a german spiced ale. Not sure letting it sit another day or two will really do anything or will it??

24 hours is fine to get the yeast to shut down and drop out of solution. If you have other kinds of sediment to get rid of they can take longer. Though getting those to drop usually isn't temperature dependent. When I'm using bentonite to clear I find it takes about 3 days for the clearing agent to have done most of it's work. You do get some additional clearing up to about 8 days, but it's pretty minor after the first 3.

Enjoy your spiced ale.
