First off, he is a brewer and usually knows what he's doing. But for my first batch I bought a recipe kit, which is just 2 cans, one malt extract and the other is everything else. It was called "Real Ale". He's never done it with cans before and he told me that because so much sugar was used(malt extract) that it would take much longer to ferment. He was telling me I should do it in the primary for 4 weeks and then in a secondary for another couple weeks. But after doing some reading of my own, and also finding this site, that for a basic Ale 4 weeks in the primary and then bottling would be good. This saturday will be the 4th week, so thats why I'm asking now. What do you guys think? Oh, I don't have a hydrometer either, but will be getting one for next time.
BTW, i won't be doing kits anymore, I'm actually really excited to start my second batch and do a real recipe.
