I am trying to get a Holiday Ale (Brewers Best Extract Kit) ready for Christmas. I brewed on 11/19 and have had these recent SG readings:

11/29/2017 -- 1.014
12/1/2017 -- 1.012
12/3/2017 -- 1.011

I'd like to bottle ASAP so that I have three weeks for bottle conditioning. Is it safe to add priming sugar and bottle or should I wait a few more days to confirm the SG has stabilized?

Thank you in advance for any replies.
 
It seems unlikely the FG will go very much lower. If you really want to drink it for XMas with three weeks of time in bottle, then you probably are not taking too much of a risk, although they could come out a bit over-carbed. Consider using maybe 10% less priming sugar than you would otherwise to guard against this risk.
