I would let it sit in the primary for 2 more weeks then bottle to let everything mellow and finish up
1 more week would be plenty (for me). that's some pretty serious attenuation, makes me wonder. Normally a beer with that starting OG would end at about 1.015 or so (unless you used sugar or honey or such). Good luck, if it doesn't move past that gravity for a couple of days you can bottle.
passed is correct (of course). getting a beer down to 1.008 is tough when you start at 1.060. what kind was it, and with what yeast? did you use honey or table sugar?
ok, i suspected a mild (except for that og) at that fg. let it sit another 3-4 days, then bottle, carb for 2 weeks, and drink

Sure it'll get better. More importantly, how is it now? Kyle

No harm in pulling them out of the fridge and let them condition at room temp for a couple more weeks. Then pop one in the fridge for a couple days to test. Some of mine have been great at 3 weeks, and some haven't been good until 6 weeks in the bottle. Time heals most things (except for the things it doesn't :cross

I would think that is a really dry brew. Were you at 60 deg when you took your hydro readings?

It won't " skunk" it if I pull them out?
No, just keep them out of the light. UV is what 'skunks' beer (it affects the hops).
