How long can I leave Porter in Primary

[reelseasick]

I usually only leave things up to 2 weeks. Is my yeast going to get funky if I wait 3 weeks?

No, three to four weeks is a good timeline for most ales. As long as the temperature isn't crazy (like in the heat of summer, without any temperature control)), you'll be fine.

3+ weeks can actually be beneficial in terms of aging the beer.

I have left beer in the primary for 4 months with no noticeable yeast autolysis. Not that I recommend that...

I just bottled my robust porter a few weeks ago, it was in primary for 2 months. it was fine.
