I opened my first beer today in 2 days it will be 2 weeks in the bottle. the carbination was fine good head so should i cold condition them now?
 
Personally, I'd wait at least another week, but if you're fine with the flavor and carbonation right now go for it. Even when bottle carbonating the yeast will still produce some compounds that you may not like, and they need some time to clean up after themselves to get rid of those things. Like I said, if you like it, that's all that matters.
 
Yep, if you like it, drink it. Just keep in mind that the flavor will likely continue to change in the coming weeks and months (if you can go that long without drinking them all). So if you like it now, you'll probably love it in another few weeks, so don't suck them down too fast or you may regret it!
