Those little buggers know what they're doing.

Get in there after a week or so and get a hydrometer reading. Don't rely on airlock activity. Plan on letting that beer sit around for 2-3 weeks before you rack to a secondary or bottling bucket.
 
It's an octoberfest beer. We were going to try transfering it to a secondary this time. So i should transfer in 2 to 3 weeks to the secondary? Also was going to try priming with brown sugar?

2-3 weeks would be good. Lean towards 3 if you can wait.

I wouldn't prime with brown sugar...but that's just me. Stick to the basic recipes and processes your first few batches out. It will be easier to identify and correct any weak areas.
