I find 4 days works aswell. Chill overnight. Gelatine next day. Chill another 24hrs. Polyclar, 24hrs later keg.
And it not just yeast that settles out, you also drop out protein and tannins - which help both taste and stability.Dropping suspened yeast hence clearing.
I like to CC ales for 5-7 days but have occasionally done shorter with some beers.
I usually chill to about 3C for over a day then rack onto gelatine in the secondary and leave it for another two days before kegging.
What about if you have dry-hopped?
Any grassyness from leaving the hopsock in the fermenter while CCing?
