I just wait and it clears, like Stig said if you are in a hurry cold crash it, I have never bothered.

How clear will TPW get? once all the sediment settles is it right to go or are you looking for an almost clear wash?

i usually leave the sugar washes for at least 10 days, sometimes 3 weeks if i can't get around to stripping them :roll:
i mainly do FFV, it doesn't seem to get much clearer than this after 3 weeks.
this is FFV just racked out of the primary fermenter, leaving a fairly stable trub behind.

OK thats about what mine looks like before it goes into the still. Was worried I needed to wait longer. Doesn't seem to be any muck in the bottom of the still when I am done so thought it was alright.
