Not quite!
Hi Noname, Given the right environment, a TPW usually ferments out in around a week.
It will never go fully clear, more like a pale fanta colour :handgestures-thumbupleft:

Like kimbo said, if you keep it warm, around 28oC, it will ferment out in around a week, maybe 10 days. If it is colder, it will take longer.
How long you leave it to clear is up to you. I would leave it for no less than a week or you could have problems with puking. 2-3 weeks is a good time to let it settle, generally the longer you leave it to clear, the cleaner your spirit will be.
