With previous recipes I have brewed, I experience 7 to 10 days (give or take) of fermentation.
However, my most recent, and first attempt, porter brew seems to have completed fermentation in 48 hours. My recipe is from the Homebrewer's Recipe Guide Viennese Spiced Porter and ingredients below. What say you? Is there a negative to fast fermentation when a recipe says keep in primary for 7 to 10 days?
