Ready for bottling

[Jordanwill91]

My coopers English bitter is on day 9 now, the OG was 1045, on day nine it's staying at 1013 and not really changing. Is it good to bottle yet?

That seems a little high for a low gravity beer. What yeast did you use?

If you aren't in a hurry it's usually better to let your beer sit a little longer as the yeast will consume the things they created while at work eating the sugars, which produce some off flavors. Your beer will be a little cleaner if you allow it maybe 3 weeks, though, with a low gravity beer, maybe only 2 weeks is necessary. Others more knowledgeable than I would better assist you in the time frame, but the FG still seems rather high.

I used the yeast provided with the coopers English bitter, I also have the fermentor on a heat pad which is keeping the temperature at 22 degrees

I'd let it sit a while. Even if fermentation is complete, the beer will benefit from some time on the yeast cake to help clear up and condition. Letting it sit for a couple more weeks will only improve the flavor.

At 9 days,a Cooper's kit usually isn't done. but if you boiled the can,it could give a higher FG than normal. not to mention,turning any flavor hops to bitter.
Mine took 2-3 weeks to get to FG & settle out clear or slightly misty. Cooper's ale yeast is a high flocculation yeast that settles out quite clear.
