A little late to the party but thought I would add my experience with Clarity Ferm. My wife is Celiac, and very sensitive, small cross contamination results in a serious reaction. I started using CF as soon as learned of it - about 5 years ago. I use it in every batch of beer. To be safe, my wife eases into a new batch gradually over many days, starting with ...

If you put a whole packet of yeast (~10 grams) into a 5 litre batch, I would guess it's fermented-out already, especially at 24C. A ferment will also generate its own heat, so you probably were even a bit warmer than ambient temperatures too.
The best way to check on fermentation progress is with a hydrometer, but if you don't have one, a quick taste-test ...

For the Top gauge this is your output pressure, adjusted by the screw
Numbers in red = PSI (marked bottom centre in red above the screws in the gauge)
Numbers in black = Kg/cm2 (marked bottom centre in black above the screws in the gauge) I think, picture not clear, but makes sense as 10Kg/cm2 = 142.233psi
so if you want 8psi it would be approx the first ...
