Two weeks, or as long as you can possibly stand it.

its been 1 day and i can't stand it

Run to the liquor store and LHBS. Get drunk and brew another batch...not necessarily in that order.

I thought that was always the order?

Remember the young bullock and old buffalo stood at the top of the hill story. Never run!
dankster - ElP's '2 week plan' is a good guide - as it nears finishing in secondary get your primary going again with something else!

Dankster, we all feel your pain. The only cure is to brew more. Which means you will need another carboy or two. Welcome to our happy hell.

Then you're going to have to wait some more after its bottled. Life is Hell

The longer you wait the better it''ll taste.

I have two cases bottled in the bedroom (basement is too cold to carbonate in the winter) that I have to look at every day. They have only been in there a week and are not nearly ready to drink. It is torture. I brewed another batch over the weekend that's still in the primary. Life is hell is right.

That's nothing...I'm working on a belgian Ale...OG just over 1.080. It's been in the primary for 9 days. Some people have told me that it should sit in the secondary for over a month....I have no patients. Any advise is welcome...

BTW, my first brew was an Irish Stout from Seven bridges. It was a huge hit at my buddies new years eve party.
