Welcome to homebrewing, now going to AG right off is a big step, and I would highly recommend not dropping your hydro before you use it at least once.

Otherwise, green beer depending on your recipe pretty much taste like what you described.
With conditioning, and carbonation you will swear its not the same thing. To be honest you should have gone out and bought two more hydrometers and taken a measurement after 7 days and one after 10 days, if there was no change then you should have racked it to secondary, or waited another two weeks for it to condition then kegged.
End result, you added at least another two weeks in the keg to condition. (When I say condition, it means giving the yeast time to clean up after themselves, and the flavors of the beer to mix)
Look at the bright side, at least your not making wine or mead that can take years.

thanks
is it true a wheat beer is able to be drunk after one week
with out tasting green?
my first batch was a wheat frome extract and was not bad
i just want to do all grain because its more from scratch and much less expensive

As your beer ages a little you'll notice what is meant by "the flavors of beer to mix", and you'll then understand green beer. It will become a thing of beauty... and sometimes to your complete surprise. I made a batch once that quickly became every one's last choice from the selection I had at the time. As there was a few cases of other variatities this one got neglected for about a month or 6 weeks. One day there was not much choice so I opened one of the undesirables. WOW! It was wonderful! It was so good I didn't even want to share it. My point is...resist the temptation to hurry your beer. Make more so that all your brews have time to age and condition properly.
Even wheats get better with age, but I must admit I've never had one that was less than a month old so can't answer that question.
