Congratulations on your new obsession!
You CAN take daily readings, but remember that every time you take a sample, you are increasing the (slight) risk of contamination. Plus, you are using up that much of ypour precious nectar of the gods. So, I would counsel to skip a couple days between readings. And, when you have stable SGs a couple days apart, your primary fermentation might be over, but the yeast are not finished with their work. During the initial fermentation phase they produce byproducts that can cause some undesirable off-flavors. They will clean those up, if you let them. So, let the beer sit a couple days- week after you think it's finished. Trust me- you'll be happy you did.
In the recipe section of this forum there is a looooong thread on Blue Moon clone started by Wayne. Wayne helped design that recipe back in the day. Find it, and spend some time looking at it. The basic recipe is wonderful. I'm not sure if they talk about variations, but I'd bet they do. Good luck!
