How long is a piece of string?
Its one of those kinda questions. Its all based on a lot of factors.
Have you bottled it? what ingredients have you used? whats the temp... so on an so forth.

I do my TC in a demijon, then after about 10 days move to a clean demijon, leave for 24 hours an then add another carton of AJ to prime, an hour later i bottle it up. I have found it takes about a week in the bottle to start falling bright but even then its still got a little murkyness. 3 weeks in the bottle its pretty much as clear as it will get :D

Yeah if you want fizz you will need to prime it.

I WOULD TAKE IT OF THE MUCK AT THE BOTTOM ASAP TOO. some say it imparts a bad flavour if left to sit on it for ages.
