Bob:

Selection kits are a good quality 6-week. Do not be impatient. Talk
your time. Procrastinate. Sit down with a glass of wine and breathe
easily. Go for a nice walk.

Get the idea???

More seriously...since you already have it in carboy, under airlock,
wait the time. Then check the sg. If it's nice and low (under .995
or whatever the instructions say) continue on. Don't be in a rush.

Oh and I positively refuse to believe visual signs. It hasn't stopped
fermewnting until the sg stops dropping. bubbles/foam/phase of
moon/etc etc mean nothing
