Some quick tips from a fellow n00b:
Leave it in primary for a month. I know I know - Just wait. It's worth it. Think of it this way. You can have crappy beer in 2 weeks, or good beer after a month, or great beer in 2-3 months (Though lighter beers do take less time to develop)
I'm 10 or so batches in since January - My first was awful at 4 weeks (2 primary, 2 kegged) - At 4 months it was great. Now they sit in primary for 3 - 4 weeks. Every time.
Get an airlock and install it in your lid. Then ignore it. Don't count bubbles. Ignore it.
Leave the lid closed. Yea, you'll probably be ok, but why risk $45 in materials, time, and anxiety to infect a batch of beer? Patience.
IF you want to watch your beer ferment, buy a better bottle. They are great. And if we're keeping track, $20 to watch your beer ferment is still cheaper than infecting a batch.
Get a hydrometer - Use it. After 3 weeks or so, take a reading. Then 2 or 3 days later, take another. If they match, you're good to bottle/keg
Let your bottles sit at room temp for at least 2 weeks. Or 4. Or 6. Longer the better, generally speaking.
I know it's a b***h to wait, but this hobby is a lot more enjoyable then the finished product actually tastes good!
Good luck!
