I have no O.G to go by two weeks my be three..?

Do 3 minimum. You should be good by then. You could always take a gravity reading and then another 2-3 days later. If there is no change then it's done.

Just pitched yeast in my 11gal AG batch I boiled up today. Hope it's close to the real thing. Love DFH

Update, here is what mine looks like now. It was initially cream colored after sitting in the primary for two weeks. I transferred it to the secondary and it has been there for the last three weeks. It has cleared up quite a bit but seems cloudy still. There is also a buildup of gunk on the sides of the carboy. I am thinking of transferring it again to get the yeast active so it will clear up a bit more. Thoughts?

Two weeks in. I dropped 2lbs of the malt for my recipe but still had an OG of 1.061. I tossed it on a notty cake and here it sits at 1.012. I dry hopped it tonight. Drank the entire sampler warm and flat as it was and it tasted great. Awesome recipe. Will update in a couple weeks when its in the keg.

I don't know- it seems like a TON of yeast stuff still in there. Maybe stick it in a cold place to get the yeast to fall out, and then rack to the bottling bucket and bottle it?

Just put mine into secondary this morning. The sample tasted good, but not as hoppy as I was expecting. I did the extract (full boil with the all-grain hop schedule). This is just my second batch. Can't wait to see what the dry-hopping will add.

just put together all of my ingredients for this one. I'll brew friday. with summer around the corner, i need a clean, hoppy, refreshing beer. 10 gallons of this should hit the spot! thanks Yooper for all of the great info!
