Well, the easy answer is "until it's done". But that's not the whole answer! It really depends on what your plan is for the beer. Are you using a secondary (clearing tank)? If you are, I like the 1-2-3 method- that is, 1 week in the fermenter, 2 weeks in the secondary, 3 weeks in bottles then drink!

If you're not using a secondary fermenter, I like to leave my beers in the fermenter 2-3 weeks, and until the sg is stable three days in a row.

Welcome to HBT! Check out the stickies and ask any questions you'd like. It's nice to have you here.
