How long to clear?

[5WTFLYBUM]

I started 5 gallons of cider on the 13th of Oct. It is fermenting away and seems to be all good in that respect. My question though is how long does it take to clarify, or will it in primary fermentation? If that will happen in secondary okay, however if it is supposed to happen in primary than I am curios as to how long only due to the fact that it looks just like it did the day it went into the carboy. It was fresh pressed so very cloudy with lots of sediment. I actually don't care if it is clear or not. Once again this is my first time and I am the curious sort. Guess it's good that I wasn't born a cat.

It depends is the best answer I can give!

I have one cider now in the secondary, using just S04 yeast and unfiltered cider from my fresh pressed apples. It was crystal clear by about day 10. I have another that I racked to secondary today, and it's about 7 days old and it's not clear or even finished fermenting yet.

It will clear with time.

IMO cider gets better with time, so it'll likely be clear before it's flavor is optimal.

When it clears, I'd add it to secondary, then let it sit for awhile.

Be patient, it can take a lot of time depending on the apple juice and yeast you use. I have a 6gal batch of organic unfiltered apple juice from sprout's market that was still cloudy last time I checked, and that was after about 2.5 months of fermenting! It seems that it is actually starting to clear though, so hopefully it won't take much longer.

At 2.5 months I plan to be drinking.
