I completely agree with Revvy that the goal is to not sample the beer and start a new thread that you ruined a batch. Thankfully because of Revvy and many others in this group I was not at all concerned that my beer was just okay after 10 days in the bottle. Hey, it was by first homebrew and my birthday.
With opening my first beer after 10 days and now about another three weeks later I am appreciating the conditioning/aging process. Now I am saving two-three bottles of each batch in a closet for an extended conditioning time.
Since it seems as though you are doing your background work by being on this site to get info, I think that I would encourage you to try one bottle early. This way you can taste the difference between a properly conditioned bottle and one that was too early. But only do this if you are not going to freak out about a ruined beer.
I'm working on my pipeline so that I don't have to struggle with my waiting for my best if opened after _____ date.
