I understand that you should bottle after the beer has cleared in your secondary, but how do you know when? Are you going to be able to see completely through the carboy? Can certain beers clear to a point and then your just wasting your time by letting it sit longer? I guess my question is when to bottle/keg after secondary clearing? I've made two batches of beer (English brown ale, and an American Pale Ale) and they both had the same dark brown color that doesn't seem to clear. Is commercial beer a good indication of what a beer should look like that is "clear"? i.e. flat tire, new castle, or sierra nevada? Thanks for all the help, this website has been a tremendous help and brewing beer is just awesome!
