Fermentation finished at 1008

Started my Coopers 14 days ago. Took a hydrometer reading on Thursday (1008)
Taken a reading today and still 1008.
Can I bottle even at this reading? My target reading is supposed to be 1006

Thanks

That'll be fine. The rule is 2 (or 3) successive steady readings in the ballpark of the expected FG. You'll rarely get the FG spot on, as it's affected by several factors.

Thanks Jim.... it's in the bottles at last.

1008?! I'd like to see ye pull That off with a Muntons kit! Lucky devil! Took me back years, that did

I just finished a Coopers Bitter kit with beer enhancer for xmas. Only went down to 1.010 steady for 3 days.

I'm not bothered, when i kegged it it was nice and almost clear and tasted fine. A coopers lager kit i started 2 days after this bitter is already below 1.010, just the nature of the beast.
