Ok so as mentioned in my first post the other day, I'm currently brewing my first batch of beer (extract kit) After 5 days my beer was done fermenting says my gravity readings. I was told by the brew supply store guy to rack it to a secondary after it was done fermenting which I did yesterday. He said leave it in there for a week. I know 2 stage it isn't really needed for simple brews and don't plan on using the secondary fermenter again. I was wondering if I can bottle before the week is up in the secondary? The reason is I want to drink the beer by Christmas and share with friends and family but I know the importance of bottle conditioning and want to get at least 2 weeks in bottles before I drink them. What do you guys think?
