I lost tack of time on the fermentation time of a batch of Nutbrown Ale. It has been in the fermenter since 12/10/2011. Should I expect any problems. The temp has been consistently between 66 and 70 degrees.

Letting it set that long is probably better than if you had followed the kit instructions. I always let mine sit in the fermenter for 3-4 weeks.
It's fine. That's probably normal for me. Depending on how busy/lazy I am, it might sit for another couple of weeks.

OK then. Thanks for the input. I wrote down the date in a log book but was thinking it was only about two weeks ago. Der. Anyway, I'll bottle this weekend and see how she goes.
Check this thread out on spending 3-4 weeks in the primary fermenter:
