belgian primary time

[stirlingtrent]

Brewed a Belgian golden 9 days ago. Checked gravity couple days ago, and it's reached the target FG. Would there be any benefit to leaving it in the primary for another couple weeks, or should I think about bottling in the next few days? Recipe follows:

5 gallons, all-grain; OG = 1.052 (13° Plato); 26 IBUs; SRM = 12; 5.4% ABV

Ingredients:

5 lbs. Belgian pale malt, 1.8° to 2.5° Lovibond
0.5 lb. carapils or dextrin-type malt, 1.5° Lovibond
2 lb. crystal malt, 10° Lovibond
2 lb. Belgian aromatic pale malt, 3.5° to 5° Lovibond
1.5 oz. Hallertauer hops (3.5% alpha acid): 0.75 oz. for 90 min., 0.75 oz. for 15 min.
1.5 oz. French Strisselspalt hops (3% alpha acid) at end of boil
1 pt. starter of White Labs 550

you will be much happier in the end if you leave it alone for another 3 weeks.
