Another week in primary? or another week in bottle?

so i got a late start for my Christmas beer and now i have a decision to make and could use some advice. this upcoming Saturday will be 2 weeks in primary. do i bottle then and have 3 1/2 weeks in bottle till xmas? or wait another week for 3 week primary and then only have 2 1/2 weeks in bottle till xmas day. either way im thinking its gonna be a little green and probably will be much better come January, but i want to hopefully drink some on xmas day with family. shes a partial boil extract kit with light malt extract, hops, honey and a variety of spices. pitched a nottingham dry yeast with a O.G. of 1.050 and had activity in about 12 hours. thanx for any help and a happy thanksgiving to all!

If the gravity is stable, there's no need to wait on bottling, and the sooner you bottle the better the carbonation by Christmas. Like you said, it might be a little green, but it's going to be green whether it's in the bottle or the bucket for that extra week.

The biggest point being,did you check it with a hydrometer to make sure it's at a stable FG? Some things can't be rushed to fit your schedule & this is one of them.

After bottling try to find a warm place (73-75F) or so to store to get better carbonation in the short time you need.

I have 6.5 gallons I am bottling this weekend, and two smaller batches of 2.5 and 3.0 gallons that I will be bottling the following weekend. I expect all to be ready for Christmas.

If I were you, I think I'd leave it a week to let it clear more. That way there will be less trub in the bottles.

Store all bottles at 70+F, to get them carb'd by Christmas. Keep them warm and you should be OK.

2 weeks in primary is good . Better to bottle condition longer in my opinion . I normally hate my beers before at least 3 weeks in the bottle and a month is almost always real good .

thanx for the help guys. im gonna take a gravity reading thurs, fri and sat morning and if all is well and stable, bottler her up
