Folks
Have this Mangrove Jacks pils
I followed instructions, pf for a week, hopped it on monday when it went under 1025 as it said!
Its at 1012 now so do i leave it to ferment a bit longer or put it to secondary in bottles/mini kegs?
Any advice greatly recieved

Thanks

Standard advice is wait at least 2 weeks, until you get stable gravity readings over a couple of days.
Better to give Yeast the time to ferment out any remaining sugars and clean up, especially if you're planning on bottling your brew - not to mention give it a higher ABV !

So leave it in primary fermentation bucket for another week?

The only reason not to would be the fact that you have dry hopped it already.

The most important factor is the final gravity being stable. It's your call, maybe check it again tomorrow - if it's still same probably ok to go ahead and bottle/barrel it. If it's still dropping leave it finish some more.
