any homebrewers?

I wouldn't worry too much about waiting a specific set of time, but wait until it bubbles very little before you rack it.

My very first batch, I didn't wait long enough to rack it, and I didn't have a hops bag when I cooked the wort, so I transferred a bunch of floating hops into a smaller container - that was still fermenting vigorously... Bad idea. Foam and hops bubbled into my airlock.. gumming up the whole works. Pressure built, and I found it had blown up. Beer on my ceiling.. and everywhere. Not pretty.

All I can say is that if you make a mistake, keep with it.. do another batch. You'll learn from your errors... good luck, I'm sure it'll come out fine.
