Still Fermenting or fine for bottling

[afur130173]

I am making a Coopers Australian Real Ale.

Its been in the FV for 6 1/2 days, temp has been constant at 24 degrees (no way of cooling) quite vigorous fermenting after 24 hours then it slowed to an acceptable level.
Original gravity was 1041 and being the impatient sort i cracked open the lid and took a reading of 1006. normally this would make me assume it is ready for bottling but i am still getting the odd bubble through the air lock.

would it be safe to bottle this or should i leave it a few more days as its still fermenting, hence the bubbles.

We have bottled at 1.010 and everything has been ok. Maybe it would be best for you to get 2 hydrometer readings 48 hours apart if nothing has changed you can assume that its finished fermenting and bottle it. :thumb:
