Hi guys,
I'm a fairly new brewer - just kicked off my 3rd brew last Saturday. It's a pale ale using US-05 yeast. The OG was around 1040. I took a gravity reading last night after 5 days and it's down to 1007. I'll check it again tonight. If the reading is stable, is it too soon to bottle after one week? Should I be leaving it another week to condition in the fermenter?
