If you want to speed this up considerably cold crash for a couple days, add gelatin for a couple days then keg.

Gelatin is super easy, sanitize a glass and put a cup of water in it. Microwave it for about 2 minutes, pull out the glass and cover with foil and let sit until its about 110 or 120 degress, basically really warm.

Stir in a tablespoon of gelatin then dump it into your fermenter.

Thats as clear as you are going to get.

I've thought about, but I'm too lazy.

I've also noticed that my beers seem to taste better about 5-6 weeks out. There's a pretty significant flavor change if I wait more than 4 weeks before tapping.

2 weeks room temp, 2 weeks cold crash, 1-2 weeks in the keg gets me right to that perfect (to me) flavor balance.
