that being said, is there some way to speed up the clearing and secondary?
If the appearance doesn't bother you then its alright. If you let the cider sit in a cool place for 4-6 months it will clear on its own unless you cooked apples or the juice. There are many different kinds of additives available or you could get a wine filter. I have plenty of cider from last year and don't have much extra time, so I just let the cider clear by itself.is it alright for still cider to be a cloudy, dark amber color? Also, is it okay to bottle still cider in normal beer bottles?
Hmm... $3-4 a pop for Super-Kleer, or I can buy a pack of Knox unflavored gelatin for $7 that will last me like 15 years!
