Just done a Bulldog brews Hammer of thor kit. It went from 1.052 - 1.008 in seven days. There seems to be differing views as to whether you should bottle it immediately or leave it in the fermenter for at least two weeks even though it has stopped the process. Just wondering what peoples views are on this & what the advantages are if any ?

Firstly to ensure they've clarified as much as possible & secondly to ensure they really have finished fermenting - I've had a couple of instances where fermentation has restarted about a week after it initially stopped.
Also hate to say this but bullbog brews kits take ages to fully clear in secondary fermentation, they really need to be left I would recommend about 8 weeks minimum with those ones.
That being said, they are very high quality and generally produce excellent beer, they just take a while compared to most others.
