So a big thanks to all that responded. Just an update on the situation. Bottled today. Taste was great and the aroma was unbelievable! Can't wait for it to carbonate. Will update with a picture of the first pour.

Three consecutive days at .010 bottled today. Super clear beer which I'm happy with, just a little more bubbly than my last batch. Thanks again to everyone that responded and offered advice. Very much appreciated.

Thanks for the responses. Being a beginner, it was just a Coopers Canadian Blonde kit with Brew Enhancer 1. Nothing else added.
