Its a little cloudy but should drop clear.

I wouldn't hold my breath....

It was crystal clear on the last hydro sample (when I realised it stalled/hadnt finished out). Bit cloudy now as yeast are still in suspension. The funktown is crystal clear.

I think most people got cloudy (ish) beer from the last batch of conan, but it was to be expected

i decided to hold it at 18C, its well on its way, its down to 1.016 after 3 days from 1.048, not getting any fruityness at all its just very sweet malty, its really clear tho, i gave it a rouse just to make sure it keeps going. i split the batch with us-05 aswell that was down to 1.010 after 3 days and really cloudy and also very malty, i experimented with just a whirlpool addition, i steeped nearly 90g of hops for 20 minutes and it doesn seem to have given much flavour or aroma im gonna add a hop tea and a load of dry hops

Lots or variables. I think the faster you chill the better chance you have of retaining the aroma. Keeping the lid on helps, as does whirlpool chilling/ recirc. My 0 min hops sit for 30 mins in the hot wort before chilling. I can get from 90c to 30c in 7-10 mins (double or triple batches take longer obviously). 30c to 20c seems to take an age with the water temps this weather.

Surely leaving the lid on while chilling means it takes longer to chill?

You leave the lid on when whirlpool chilling. I didnt pioneer the method so cant answer why, you just do. Maybe it prevents aromatics from escaping?
