The Boilermakers are:

I'm guessing that: most using a BK sight glass have previously used a dipstick also but not too many the other way around. Again, both work fine and get the job done, just thinking that many dip...

To really get all the Brett characteristics you'll probably want to wait 4-6 months. I'm sure it'll finish the ferment by then too. I did the same as you but the primary didn't stall, I secondaried...
