Your beer should be ready in about a month. Only very very high alc beers need to aged. Yes you can age others and sometimes they get better but for the most part , beer should be treated like bread. Fresh beer tastes good. I think optimum is about 5 days in primary fermenter m, 10 days in secondary fermenter when dry hopping and 2 to 4 weeks in the bottles.
Man guys go 1 week in primary , 2weeks in bottles , then drink it.
I used to brew competitively and sometimes if pressed for time to get an entry into a contest I would brew it , primary 5 days , dry hop in secondary 5 days then force cabonate using CO2 pressure overnight and into the contest. Won several using that method but of course its not the best , but it works!
