How long should you leave cherries floating in the secondary? I have some in my apple wine right now.

I don't think that the cherries will affect your Apfelwein negatively if they're left in there for a long time (30+ days). Although I doubt they'll contribute much to the Apfelwein after that period of time. You might want to rack it to the bottling bucket/keg/tertiary after a month or less - whenever the gravity has shown itself to be stable over 3-4 consecutive days.

That's what I'd do anyhow :fro:
