Leaving in primary for longer than many instructions say is good. 2/3 weeks. If you google search John Palmer Homebrewing, you will find a free e-book that has EVERYTHING you will need to get going from beginning kits to all-grain. A fantastic book that highlights the flaws of kit instructions and what to do to get a good beer.

The "foam on the wort", or krausen, will have settled by the time you reach your final gravity. There's just no reason to check it until the krausen has dropped.

Well, I am using a recipe in stead of a kit at least...some kudos?

I think a lot of new brewers start out drinking batches too soon till they realize that by the time they get to the last bottle it's tasting really good. Then they start to become patient.
