how long for clear beer?

[Pilot Pete]

Hi all, just brewing my first kit beer; Muntons Premium Gold Smugglers Ale kit, which has been in the keg for 2 weeks and is not clear yet. Can I do anything to help/ speed the process as I need it ready for Saturday!

I have done everything as per the instructions and everything was scrupulously clean. I used spray malt in the keg if that makes any difference.

Thank you.

Unfortunately, I don't think there's much you can do to speed the process now it's conditioning in the keg. Temperature makes a difference, where is it and could you move it anywhere cooler?

It's in the utility room, so at room temperature, slightly cooler than the rest of the house though.

Try to get it somewhere where the temperature is around 16oC, then i would give it around 4 - 5 weeks before its clear.

My first one, in the keg now, took about 4-5 weeks to clear. I added some finings, that seemed to speed it up a bit.
