I've got a porter in the primary that I'll be racking on top of cherries in a secondary. This is my first time to use fruit. I did a pumpkin ale on my last batch, so I kept it in the primary for 3 weeks before bottling. How long do I need to keep the porter in the primary before transferring to the secondary?

Thanks!
 
Rack once it reaches it's final gravity. Once it's on the cherries, it could go 2 to 4 more weeks or more . I have a batch on cherries now that still isn't finished after 24 days.
