Question: My Home made cider is clearing out by its self?

well i am using cider yeast and it has been 4 days and now my cider is starting to clear up and look more like cider i thought for this to happen you had to leave for like a month it is still fermenting as we speak but how come its clearing so fast i am using inmate brew method but a bit more hygienic and a little more effort i am not sure if its the yeast i am using that makes it clear so fast (Young's cider yeast) i am not complaining just curious as to why after 4 days it already clearing up

Answers:

Different yeast strains flocculate at different rates. If kept at their optimum temperature (varies by strain) and pitched at the optimal rate (varies by SG) they will consume available saccharides and then fall to the bottom of the fermentation vessel.

I brew beer, not cider, and the initial fermentation is usually complete within a week and sometimes within 4 days. Fermentation will often continue for another week or so, but the beer will have already started to clear.

Cider does seem to drop it's sediment faster than ales/beers.
Never known why.
