confused

So my first beer ever sat in the primary for two weeks and bottled for one week. I was told to try one every week tell three weeks when they are ready. Problem is it is good after one week

Good at one week = GREAT at 3+ weeks.

But, it's your first batch, you have first batch privileges to drink whenever you like. Pipeline makes patience far easier.

Yes, after a week it is beer.

The idea is so a new brewer can learn patients. I did it and found now it is much easier to wait and reap the benefits of a fully aged brew. You will also then understand what some mean when they say it tastes green. I think you will be pleasantly surprised by how much better it gets with a little more time.

I have some that are almost 5 months old. Not bad since I have only been brewing for 9 months. I did sample one of my latest brews last week that was only 4.5 days in the bottle. It had a salty taste when bottled and I had to see if it had improved. It was green but had lost the salty taste. The rest will set until Thanksgiving and beyond. It is my own recipe. It is a Robust Honey Barrel Porter and will be a beer I can truly be thankful for.

I only plan to drink one more at two weeks then its a free for all Halloween night for the rrst

Should be fine. What style is it?

Start making another batch right now! And congratulations on your first hand-made batch of beer!
