So I'm still a novice mazer, only been at it since november. My first three batches were gallons and all cleared in 2-3 months and only got clearer and clearer. It was also winter, and the coldest one in quite some time, so I'm wondering if my experience with clearing time is thrown off because those batches sat at something like 58-65 degrees (although the JAOM cleared in 8 weeks and that was in the bedroom). I've got a 5 gallon batch now that looks just like a bucket of must, but it's over two months since pitching. Should I worry or just let it be?
 
You should be fine. Bigger batches take longer. And different batches take longer than other ones. And yes, colder temps also help.
