I recently brewed Biermuncher's SWBO Slayer recipe. For some reason (probably lack of starter), fermentation stalled at 1.020. After several weeks, I gave up and pitched it onto a Nottingham cake that came available. Fermentation started immediately and vigorously.

Question - how long should I leave the beer on the Nottingham cake? I typically just let everything ferment for 3-4 weeks. Since this beer was 1/2 done when I added it to the Nottingham, can I shorten this down to a couple of weeks on the cake then bottle?
 
SWBO, the ebonics version of SWMBO! :p

I'd say wait until the signs of the latest fermentation stop, measure gravity, wait three days and measure again. If they're the same reading, you're good to go, no need to wait unnecessarily since most of the ferm was already done.
