I brewed a Belgian tripple on Saturday, used a 1.5 L starter. Fermentation really got going about 10 hrs after pitching starter. I had to use a blow-off tube. Things have started to slow down. How long should I leave in primary? I planned on racking to secondary after 2 weeks and leaving there for 2 months. I know Belgians get character from the yeast. Should I leave in primary for 2 weeks, rack at 1 week or leave in primary longer then 2 weeks. Thanks for the input.
 
you should make all of these decisions based on gravity readings, not the length of time. i would leave the beer on the yeast for the whole time but others will disagree.
