This is my first time using honey or fruit for that matter, how long should I leave my cherry cyser in the primary? Since I used all juices instead of fruit can I just let it age in the primary or will this cause off flavors?

5lbs Honey
32oz Montmorency cherry concentrate
2 Gallons apple cider
1 can apple juice concentrate
1 can Orange Juice concentrate
water to 4 gallons
red star champagne yeast

OG 1.093

Thanks
 
Typically you want to rack it to get it of the gross lees at the bottom of the primary. The lees from some yeast can cause off flavors in your mead if it sits too long.
