I have bottled my ale, it's been bottled for 2 weeks in the warm. I want to drink it in about a week but it's still very cloudy. Should I cold crash to clear it or hope that in another week it will be clear?

Sure, that's a good idea. Give it a week or 2 cold and it should clear up.

Thanks. Thought it would be the fastest route but was unsure about doing it in the bottles Commented Dec 17, 2014 at 7:14
The beer will clear with age, but will clear more quickly in cold conditions.

@paterbush, if you are travelling with the beer, the sediment will be roused. When you get to your destination, place the beers in the fridge and allow them to settle and clear. What beer did you make? Certain beers should be cloudy. Commented Dec 17, 2014 at 7:28

I know. I was going to put them in the fridge for a couples days before I drank them. It's a kit beer. Brupaks Almondbury old. Commented Dec 17, 2014 at 8:01
