I made a Belgian Blonde on Saturday with an OG of ~1.062 and by Thursday the SG was 1.012. I tasted the beer and it tasted great. No hot alcohol and seemed pretty balanced. My question is should I leave it in the fermentor if the FG stabilizes or is there a real benefit to letting it age in primary rather than in bottle. I used WLP500 and read it can be tough to get the beer to clear.
Is it necessary to secondary?
Should I cold crash before bottling?
Or should I just bottle it soon and let it carbonate and age in bottle?
I am basically down to only hefeweizen left for homebrew which I enjoy, but would like a different summer brew so I am looking to drink this soon.
Any help would be great...sorry for all the babbling.
