What is my next step?

So I bought a gallon of apple juice with OG of 1.050 and added ale yeast to it. Three days later it is at 1.007 which is about where I would like to have it in sweetness. What do I do next? Do I let it keep fermenting and then add sugar later to get it up or do I stop fermentation by chilling it and let it sit for a while like that?

What kind of differences will each method produce. This is a test batch and I don't really plan on letting it age for too long. I just wanted to play around with cider to see if I wanted to get into it or not.

Oh and I don't plan on using bottles. I will be force carbonating it.

If you're force carbing and will keep it cold until its gone then you can just cold crash and keg. To store at room temp you could bulk pasteurized it or try k Meta and sorbate after cold crash

Ok cool. To me it seems weird that it was done in 3 days? Am I losing anything with such a fast fermentation because with beer I know the longer you let it sit the more of the off flavors will be gotten rid of by the yeast. But if I stop fermentation now......
