I've been wanting to get into brewing my own beer for several years now and finally went and got everything that I needed to start out with extract brewing. I have my first homebrew (Midwest Autumn Amber Ale) sitting in primary. I've been debating on doing a secondary but after reading many posts I'm not sure I'm going to.
 
I did a secondary my first batch. After that i really struggled to see the point. Just seemed like unnecessary work to me after reading up on it.

Welcome to the madness. :mug:
 
Yea, from everything I've been reading I think I'm going to skip on secondary for this one and bottle in about after 2 weeks.
 
Get a hydrometer and after the activity settles down take a sample. If it holds that gravity over a few days then bottle it up. I've had beers ready to keg/bottle in 2 weeks and others that took their sweet time getting there. A hydrometer really helps to take the guess work out of the "should i bottle/keg yet?" question.
