Am I on the right track?

[WaltG]

Ok, my 1st 5 gallon brew and my first taking SG readings. Just want to know how it's going. I think my #s are accurate:

11/22 brew day 1.041
11/24 1.017
11/29 1.013

Estimated final gravity from recipe is 1.005

Am I in good shape?

Yes, right on track. Rule of thumb is leave the lighter beers for 2 weeks no matter what. For future references, don't keep taking readings. Risks oxidation or possibly infection from opening the carboy or bucket too often.

What are you making and what yeast?

Yep those numbers are definitely going down. Always a good sign of active fermentation. Leave it alone for another 1-2 weeks then check and see if it's done.
